Straddle Legged

There once was an old man from Thomaston Who said at the young age of ninety-one Look at that old man try to walk Walking straddle legged he mocked One foot in the grave and one slip, he's done
My father said that to me one day As I was bringing him back to the Nursing Home after I had carried Him shopping for the things he Liked to have one hand at the Home..He went in at the home and asked mother, "Do I walk straddle legged." Mom said, "I don't think so, why do you ask?"...

My Mom always talked about others her own age like they were old and feeble. The mirror tells only what you want to see. Your Mom reflected that. :) Peace.
