Little Jimmy Short-Legs
Little Jimmy Short-Legs
took it in his stride
that everybody called him
“Little Jimmy Short-Legs”
‘cause he knew
way down deep inside
that his sturdy little legs
were really, really short
and one would have to be
all but blind
and ever so polite
to not plainly see the shortcomings
that his little legs displayed
he was however
very, very grateful
that nature
when being a little mischievous
which he readily understood
had thankfully chosen not to
place his hands in a position
that would have everybody calling him
“Little Jimmy Short-Arms”
a moniker
that for some unearthly reason
which he truly cannot fathom
would have been so much harder
to rakishly take on board.
