I Came Upon a Centipede

I came upon a centipede whose family was in need - sad news. How, said I, can I assist? Let's write a shopping list - please choose. There's just one thing that, for us, you can bring - that's shoes.

It's now occurring to me. Somebody else on this site wrote a poem about centipedes, and I think it filtered into my brain...I think I'm guilty of subconscious plagiarism. I hope it's different. I can't remember who it was, or what they wrote, other than I was amused by it. This isn't the first time this has happened.
