One day an ant was out foraging when it saw a centipede. The ant had never seen a centipede before and watched it move with astonishment, two perfectly coordinated waves passed along the many legs from back to front, propelling the centipede forward. <br />“How do you do that? ” asked the ant <br />“Do what? ” said the centipede <br />“Move your legs – like that” said the ant <br />“I don’t know' said the centipede <br />'I never stopped to think about it” <br /> <br />So the centipede stopped <br /> <br />And thought about it <br /> <br />And never moved again<br /><br />Stewart McKenzie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/joke-03-the-ant-and-the-centipede/
