But not all woodworms
need apply.
Only those directly descended
from the woodworm present
on Noah's Ark.
That woodworm was
THE STOWAWAY
And reported his findings
to Julian Barnes
Evidently, Noah was not
as heroic as other
Biblical scholars would
have you believe.
Part of what that
Woodworm had to say:
While they said they’d take two of each species, when it came down to it...
Some creatures were simply
NOT WANTED ON VOYAGE.
That was the case with us;
that’s why we had to stowaway.
And any number of beasts,
with a perfectly good legal argument
for being a separate species,
had their claims dismissed.
No, we’ve got two of you already,
No, we’ve got two of you already,
they were told.
Well, what difference do
Well, what difference do
a few extra rings around the tail make?
We've got you, Sorry.
