A centipede does not wear shoes. <br />If they were offered he’d refuse. <br />Say he’s afraid they’d hurt his toes <br /> and he knows best I must suppose. <br /> Although I do suspect that he <br /> makes excuses Cos he’s lazy. <br />He’d have to tie a hundred bows <br /> which I think would drive him crazy. <br /> If I was forced to go barefoot <br /> I am quite sure it would not suit. <br />For shoes are something which I need <br />but then I’m not a centipede.<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bare-feet-for-thad/
