Wiggles the worm saw a book and took a look,
And said, "look at this, a book on how to cook.
 But how can I cook? Without hands, I can't lift pans
Can't use an opener to open cans.
Can't lift a spoon, can't lift a fork,
How can I take from a bottle a cork?"
So he showed the book to old Jake the snake,
To see if old Jake was able to bake.
Jake said, "Wiggles don't be silly, how can I cook
Any of those recipes there in the book?
Without hands I can't lift pans,
Can't use an opener to open cans.
Can't lift a spoon, can't lift a fork,
How can I take from a bottle a cork?
Can't turn on the stove, can't open the oven door.
Please leave me alone and bother me no more."
So Wiggles asked the centipede, many footed Fred,
If he could use his feet and bake some gourmet bread.
Fred said, "Wiggles don't be silly, how can I cook
Any of those recipes there in the book?
Without hands I can't lift pans,
Can't use an opener to open cans.
Can't lift a spoon, can't lift a fork,
How can I take from a bottle a cork?
Can't turn on the stove, can't open the oven door,
But with my feet I can walk to the store."
Wiggles said, "Fred forget it, that's okay,
You couldn't hand them the money when it's time to pay.
 I guess we'll settle on plain old dirt for our feast.
But wouldn't it be tastier baked with yeast?"
