The movibles are scrawling in motions, marching, all of them ago, in pitpat and zingzang
Why do worms crawl on the sidewalk after it rains?
Worms do not drown when it rains … Worms of all kinds are highly susceptible to dessication [drying out]. They breed when it rains. They come out of the ground to find each other and to lie side by side in a mating posture, a difficult thing to do in the confines of their burrows. [And we complain about the back of a Ford!] The only time earthworms can safely come to the surface to breed is when the ground is thoroughly soaked … Worms don’t have lungs.
