Authors' Note: The above verse is proposed as a companion verse to other submisions about ambulation. 

poetry lyrics:/  When folks amble, their effort is placed/ At revoking
 disruption and haste./ So meander or saunter/ As a casual jaunter./
 "Not to trot" is the mantra embraced,/ As you stroll at a lesiurely pace.  

Authors' Note:  Hot to trot is an intriguing established idiom, as reflected by its many tribute-verses, such as this one. Not to trot, a variant employed in the above verse's final line, has received considerably less attention.

Authors' Note:  Although the difference is no longer well demarcated, wiggling originally implied movement in place without forward momentum, as in squirm, twist or jiggle. Wriggling, like the directionally motivated activities crawling and tunnelling, may be the ambulatory technique to choose when escape from entrapment is needed.

poetry lyrics:/ Ambulation? You're rushed, in a hurry -- / Variations abound,

 so don't worry:/ Hustled, hastened and speeded,/ Streak or hurtle where needed,/

 By dint of a sprint or a scurry.
