“What do you do?”

***

Lucy Lilac liked to learn
Whatever school could teach her,
And even when outside of school,
Sought knowledge all around her.

"What do you do?" she asked a worm,
"Tell me, what is the point of you?"
"What a cheek!" came the worm's barely audible squeak,
"You mean - what do I do for you!"

"What do you do?" she asked a wasp,
"Tell me, what is the point of you?"
"How rude!" said the wasp with attitude,
"Go away now, shoo shoo shoo!"

"What do you do?" she asked a snail,
"Tell me, what is the point of you?"
"Same as you," said the snail as he slid through the dew,
"Just like you, I eat, sleep and poo."
