LEGGING BEHIND

A stork has one leg.
A ladder, two.
A tripod has tri pods.
A fly, says Aristotle, four.
A stud bull, five.
A dung beetle, six.
A millepede stampedes over millepede
without missing a pede!

And I, a leg and a half.
A wooden calf.
A waking stick with an ivory knob
finely carved.

Some girls up the street
say my limp is chic.
I\'m grateful, since
I\'m vain about my appearance.
Not to mention my degree:
I\'m an electronics engineer.

Nevertheless, I confess
despite being in my prime.
my efforts sublime,
robust thighs, stick a beauty.
it gets harder and harder
to overtake the cuties
