The Centipede’s Dilemma
A centipede was happy – quite!
Until a toad in fun said,
“Pray, which leg moves after which?”
This raised her doubts to such a pitch,
She fell exhausted in the ditch
Not knowing how to run.

A strange subject but an excellent image. I like the composition and in B &W it is very strong.

Thank you Tim, a peculiar subject I suppose but something forlorn about this fallen predator appealed to me. I stumble upon the poem while identifying the species and searching for colloquial names for Centipedes.
