Ode to a Leggymajigger

This is a silly poem written to a house centipede, affectionately known as a "leggymajigger", because, well, they sure are leggy!

Ode to a Leggymajigger

Oh, high there little buddy!

You sure are quite leggy.

How many legs do you have, anyway?

I sure am mighty impressed.

I really like the way you move,

With your many, many, many legs oscillating.

It's super cool.

I wish I could do that!

Was it you I saw on my wall

a couple weeks ago?

Or was that your friend?

I know it wasn't you drowned in the sink.

Oh, dear leggy friend!

I hope there are bunches of you

to be companions for all the spiders

if you guys'll team up and eat the moths.
