Ode To Worm Permit

80 years ago, before all Vecchio’s terms,
This town began to regulate worms.

The digging of worms requires a permit,
The clerk’s office decided the law didn’t fit.

We should forego the money we collect
because the work it entails is a pain in the neck.

The Board will deliberate and make a decision,
They will work hard said a resident with a little derision.

The decision will be made with thought and insight,
And because this is Smithtown it won’t be overnight.

This thought comes to mind and needs to be spoken,
This Town Board is best at fixing that which is not broken.
