Those Legs 

 

She never crawled before she walked 

At 10 months, she took her first steps on wobbly legs 

 

Never one to take her time, 

She soon preferred to run rather than walk on those legs 

 

When she was four, the world was opening up again,  

So she could finally swim with those legs 

 

Kindergarten gave her knees a beating, 

All those scrapes on the asphalt against her legs 

 

Now at six in gymnastics, Evelyn, you’re somewhere between a young 

Shannon Miller and Simone Biles on the beam with those legs
