Daddy Long Legs

by Aggi Thurner

I spied a Daddy Long Legs
Climbing on a tree.
When he saw Id seen him
He went still as he could be.

I stayed and watched him for awhile;
Thought Id track him to his base
To see how Mommy Long Legs
Served meals at their place

I was curious you know
To see how they were able
To fit all the little Long Legs
Around the dinner table.

Would their legs get tangled
And twisted all about?
And how would they untangle them
When time came to crawl out.

I turned my head a minute
And when I turned around,
My shy little Daddy long legs
Was nowhere to be found.
