“A man’s legs must be long enough to reach the ground.” – Abraham Lincoln

His Legs Would Not Reach to the Ground

A man from Connecticut found
His legs would not reach to the ground.
“I wish I was shorter,”
He told a reporter,
“To stop all this floating around.”

The reporter knew just what to do - He stuck glue on the sole of each shoe - The man couldn’t walk - But boy could he talk - His language was foul electric blue…… Beryl
