The Maggot

The Maggot's not for recipes, at least that's my advice.
It's true that he looks rather like a wriggly grain of Rice

But don't use him in Puddings, don't serve him up with Curry
'cos if you do your Dinner Guests will leave in quite a hurry . . .

He's best for catching Barbel, Dace, Perch, Gudgeon, Bream and Bleak
(To make him wriggle when it's cold, just warm him in your Cheek.)

His Pupa's called a Caster, and is used for Castor Oil*
that's why it tastes revolting and makes Small Children recoil . . .

And, after several days as Caster, turns into a Fly
(an Insect you'll find on Neglected Pets after they Die)

So if you don't like the Maggot, I have only this to say:
Just make sure that the Children feed the Hamster every day . . .

*this may actually not be true
