Straddle Legged
There once was an old man from Thomaston
Who said at the young age of ninety-one
Look at that old man try to walk
Walking straddle legged he mocked
One foot in the grave and one slip, he's done
My father said that to me one day
As I was bringing him back to the
Nursing Home after I had carried
Him shopping for the things he
Liked to have one hand at the
Home..He went in at the home
and asked mother, "Do I walk
straddle legged." Mom said,
"I don't think so, why do you
ask?"...
