A centipede was happy, quite,
until a toad in fun
Said, "Prey, which leg goes after which?"
This worked his mind to such a pitch
he lay distracted in a ditch
Considering how to run!
"Think not-thinking" is only halfway there!

The centipede was in his box and I yelled, "Hey, taking a shower then you and me go eat!"
Out of the shower, centipede still in the box, "C'mon! It's the Early-Bird Special. Let's go!
Are you going or not?"
From the box a small voice says, "I heard you the first time. I'm putting on my f¤#%ing shoes!"
