GRAND DADDY LONG LEGS

THREE LEGGED GRAND DADDY
WHERE ARE YOUR OTHERS?
AND ONE ANTENNA IS GONE!
YOU BRAVE LITTLE CRITTER
WITHOUT ALL YOUR PARTS
YOU JUST KEEP PLUGGING ALONG.
I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER
YOUR COURAGE AND FORTITUDE!
SOME DAY I MAY NEED SOME OF THAT.
THIS WORLD OFT' GETS ROUGH
FOR MOVING ABOUT. LIKE YOU
I WON'T GIVE UP AND THAT"S THAT.
