The worms crawl out,
In through your stomach
And out your snout...

A killing spree is wrought by

Careful, little grasshopper,
Fear their cartoon wrath.

Watch them torment E.G. Marshall
A la Stephen King

Kissed by the lips of Tom Green?

Schwarzenegger and Thurman,
Duke it out for dough.

Diseased talking rats
Perched atop a garbage can
Mock Eddie Murphy.

They're huge alien slimers.
Someone get some salt.

Untamed mole-like things
Are enlarged by Radford Baines.
So who wants coffee?

Mice, rats, vermin all!
Move a home, avoid the plow...
Would've served 'em right.

Giant grasshoppers!
Vast peril to Chicago!
Call in Peter Graves!

Huge Amazon bugs,
It's Ed Begley's greatest role
And that's a damn shame.
