OK, OK, OK. I couldn’t find an animal, fish, or even a kitchen utensil that started with X so I cheated! If you know of any, PLEASE don’t tell me, I shall get depressed!
An eXtra elongated worm
employed to squiggle and squirm
was such a good bender
of uncertain gender

In 2016, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. Now I'm coming through the other side.

That’s dedication. As a side note, some companies could take note of this worm’s loyalty. Company’s lose a lot when they don’t value such worms.

Such commitment the worm has. I need a speaker for an event. Is the worm available? Loved the limerick. Here’s an old one. A little old lady from Wooster, had a little red rooster. She cut off its head, and thought it was dead, until it got up and goosed her.

I’m sorry but the worm had to give up public speaking after a particularly bad case of laryngitis!

It still “works” and the worm reminds me of some co-workers from over the years.

Yes I did find them in my research but really wanted to discover a 3 legged Xaladong, or similar. I’m going backwards to A once I reach Z so I may yet use your Tetras! Thank you Tom.

Challenge accepted! Xantis, a Himalayan yak. Not much you can do with that in a limerick, though. I enjoyed the worm!
