Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Ruler of Daddy Longs Leg Resort

The Daddy Long Legs crawled into my tea.
Looked up and smiled, coyly at me.
Invited his wife and his offspring, all three.
They were having the best time, I truly could see.

So I decided to make them a big bowl of tea.
I put in sugar and lemons, I cut them delicately.
I had Daddy Long Legs invite relatives to this magnificent tea.
They swam and they floated, with their faces to me.

They turned this big bowl into a Long Leg’s Resort.
They named me the Queen, and we held Daddy Long Legs Court.
Pretty soon I had to move them to a big pool in my back yard.
Being the ruler of Long Leg’s is surprisingly hard!

I was watching a Daddy Long Legs crawl all over my hand one morning, when my glass of tea, I had sat down and picked back up right next to him,, and voila, a poem was born.
