i am feeling quiet. distant. insulated. removed from humanity.
when i was a little girl my mother taught me this song. i remember singing it to myself in my itty bitty brick back yard when i was feeling particularly lonesome and as small as a bug.
well perhaps you know this childhood ditty. raise your hand if you do.
nobody loves me
everybody hates me
guess i'll go eat worms
big fat juicy worms
little itty bitty worms
see dem little worms squirm
bite their heads off
suck their guts out
throw their skins away
nobody knows how a man can thrive
on worms three times a day!
and i...cannot believe i have remembered all the words. i deserve a medal just for that.
worms anyone?

I also remember a version of it, sung by Scouts around the camp fire!
I felt small on Tuesday too - maybe it was a universal MS thing.
I never knew there were more words to that. That's cool. Sorry, I've been down in the dumps a little lately myself (as you may well know). But, I'm back. I hope things are going well for you.
I don't remember the worm song but I remember all the words to the Bumble Bee one. Thanks Lisa Emerich! Now I won't be able to get that song out of my head all day! lol
Reading that made me realize that I can relate at times.
