Walk With a Centipede

Took my centipede on a walk
We were only going around the block
And before long I knew
I circled the block once, he twenty-two

That centipede stepped on my toe
Hurt so bad I had to slow
Stepped on it not just once but again and again
Not ten times but ten times ten

After he trampled my big toe
Couldn't take another step don't you know
This is all he had to say
"If you cant keep up, get out of the way"
