Centipede
Don’t listen to that centipede.
That’s not something you need.
Pay attention to the earth’s surface.
Take a moment to look at their face.
Don’t eat corn on the cob.
It will make you sob.
Just like that small town ten miles away.
They just couldn’t keep them at bay.
Trick or take a seat.
That’s not something to eat.
Pantries are for evil things.
Do centipedes have wings?
If something doesn’t make sense?
And they charge you 50 cents.
Only pay a dime.
And they will pinch you one time.
A centipede runs very fast.
Their pinch hurts but doesn’t last.
Take a moment to let this insect grow.
That small town was all I used to know.
Take a moment to look at their face.
This is a being from outer space.
