A CENTIPEDE

Have you
Ever
Seen a
MINNESOTA
"""C-E-N-T-I-P-E-D-E"""

Well they have
Many-MANY-Many-MANY
M--------A--------N--------Y
Legs
To
Forward-March, with
Your
-----LEFT--FOOTs
Your
------RIGHT--FOOTs
And LEFT and RIGHT
        And LEFT and RIGHT
"""C--E--N--T--I--P--E--D--E"""
Take the
LEAD

I just don't Know--WHY
These--MINNESOTA
"""C-E-N-T-I-P-E-D-E-S"""
Have--A--HUNDRED
LEGS--or
M-O-R-E
Of so
MANY---M--A--N--Y---MANY
And--MANY

Well I can see that they
DO-HAVE-a-Very--Loooong
Cattapiller like--LONG
BODY--but
You would--THINK
That legs of-"""-CENTIPEDE"""
TEN---or---TWENTY
Or--even---THIRTY
Even---FORTY---or---FIFTY
Should--BE--"""CENTIPEDE"""
Legs---of---MORE--than
PLENTY

It's just kinda cool
Way up front and watching a
"""C--E--N--T--I--P--E--D--E"""Crawl-and--slowly-but-surely-a-hundred-Legily--MOVE

With
LEFT--FOOTs
And
RIGHT--FOOTs
All--in--PERFECT
"""CENTIPEDE"""
--------PRECISION
---------------PERFECT
C--A--D--E--N--C--E
With exact and perfect steps
Of
LEFT-LEFT-LEFT
         And
RIGHT--RIGHT--RIGHT
In
Exact--SYNC
And
"""CENTIPEDE"""
---GROOVE
