A length of worms

What can a worm do
when it wants to ride the Tilt-A-Whirl
but is too short to ride?
Well, an average earthworm is about
three hundred and sixty millimetres
yet that is far from five feet tall
but fortunately is a fifth of the way there
and an inchworm is surprisingly enough
a mighty inch tall making it one and a quarter feet
with just two worms so far,
add in a flatworm at about half in inch
plus an arrow worm for another 60 millimetres
yet that is only a third for the trying tally,
though should a bristle worm
not be busy and in the area
their immense one metre length
sees the worms wriggling ever closer
although still slightly shy
of the required extent
and adding in microscopic worms
could get close
but the other worms
may well be ex-worms by then,
thankfully the African giant earthworm
has more than enough great girth
to smash any height required
as they can be about twenty two feet
yet they can be beat:
by the marine nemertean worm
who wallops in at one hundred and ninety feet;
now that is quite a feat indeed!
So should the humble earthworm
have a hankering and hunger
to use the carnival slide or any other ride
then even the sternest attraction steward
will be hard pressed to not concede
to the lengthy creatures
who help a worm in need
using their increased length
to give other worms a stretch,
however such lengths can be achieved
with enough worms
who although but earthworms
are numerous enough in the great earth
to go to great lengths
in order to overcome
any obstacle or requirement
when they put their heads together
becoming greater than the sum of their parts,
even if admittedly those parts
are little more than little worms.
This just goes to show what can be achieved
when individual worms work together
in joint venture for a common cause.
though perhaps it would be easier
to simply make such beguiling attractions smaller
rather than pile worms upon worms
only to tilt and whirl the wrigglers
until fearsome unforgiving physics
seems them scattered
through the air without care
to land unceremoniously inevitably
making them true earthworms!
