178 - Legs

It’s not fair that spiders have eight legs

And I only have two

I’d like to appeal this decision please

Let’s have a formal review

What do they need them for anyway?

Who decided this?

All they do is eat flies and things

It’s rather taking the piss

At least cats are more reasonable

They only have the four

That’s still two more than me

But each one ends in a paw
