“O sunny days, so sweet and warm,
I miss you very much.
I only hope the rheumatiz
My little toe won’t touch!”
sang Uncle Lucky, helping Daddy Longlegs pull off his rubber boots.
“Ha, ha!” laughed the old gentleman insect, stretching out his cold, damp toes:
“I love the cheerful kitchen fire,
And though it is so kind
To warm my frozen tippy toes,
I’m always cold behind.”
