Of Slime, Zappa, Ants And Worms

Frank Zappa wrote a song about the slime

That comes through one's own television set.

The Simpsons had Kent Brockman, that one time

Proclaiming our ant overlords no threat.

Comes now the news that down in fair Raleigh

(That's Raleigh, not R'lyeh) there dwells a blob

Down in the sewer, pulsating. Call me

A sucker for a creature tale, but it's my job

To celebrate the weird and to explain

Here that it's really just some worms without

Ought to coil 'round but one another. Fain

Am I, too, in faith to point this out:

We've known of Argentine ants' teeming spread

All 'round the world since '02. Use your head!
