Inchworm, Inchworm

A favorite childhood song of mine is the tale of a poor inchworm that is so distracted with measuring his marigold that he can't see the beauty of the flower he is measuring! It goes like this:

The inchworm: "2 and 2 are 4, 4 and 4 are 8, 8 and 8 are 16, 16 and 16 are 32.......2 and 2 are 4....."

The onlooker: "Inchworm, inchworm measuring the marigolds, seems to me you'd stop and see how beautiful they are...."

A good reminder.
