They could be mistaken for spaghetti
but these wiggly worms are made of sterner stuff
egg yellow gives you a clue of their content
clumped together in a group they drop
into steaming water – with a drop of oil
they swim around till they soften
till they’re joined by the meat and the veg –
cooking away in another pan
and then coated in sticky, sweet and savory sauce
ready for serving to all and sundry
