The Daddy-Long-Legs Outside The Window - Poem by J.M. Okano

     It's a rainy day
     And there's a bug
     Outside the window.
     I wonder what he's thinking
     (Or she, as the case may be).
      "I have a hard time wondering
      Why you want to know my thoughts,
     'Coz I'm a bug,
     But if you must know,
     I'm cold and I wish I were inside!"  says he.
     "My mother and my father are inside,
     I think,
      And that's all I can think about,
     As I shiver outside.
     Oh, woe is me!"
