Frankenstein’s Walk
He always walks with arms straight out,
his legs as stiff as can be.
Some say that makes him scary,
but it doesn’t frighten me.
My baby brother walks that way
when he’s not being hyper.
His straight-leg waddle simply means
he’s loaded up his diaper.

About the Author
Bill has had some three dozen books published. He’s not exactly sure how many. Yes, he could go back and count them but — and here’s a fun fact — he doesn’t want to. And besides, for some books he was a co-author. Do two co-authored books equal the same as one one-authored book? And what about anthologies? He didn’t write all the poems in them but each has included more than a couple of his. (For example, one that begins “Little Molly Peters stuck her finger up her nose.” Eat your heart out, Dante.)
