On Seeing A Centipede

A strange little critter to look at indeed It does have more legs than it does seem to need As it crawls in the grass it's fastest pace very slow Though little of it's way i can claim to know Out of sight into cover it moves fast as it can Five meters to crawl to it in distance quite a long span Since birds enjoy eating it's kind every day It does feel safer under cover well hidden away From the likes of the blackbird nearby with the bright golden bill In Nature it does have it's role to fulfill Just like me and the bird with the beautiful song Our common bond is to Nature we belong Like the strange little critter known as centipede Who does have more legs than it does seem to need.
