What Happened

 

The crippled man penguined along.

What happened to him? I wonder.

Maybe Vietnam,

Or is he not old enough?

Maybe he was swatted by a car,

Or maybe he fell from an airplane.

What am I thinking?

Probably just an unfortunate disease,

Nothing so drastic as

Evel-Knieveling off a roof
