Notes About The Poem

For Your Choice J Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

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.
