Centipede, Inspired by my husband

The ramblers are coming. 

The centipede winds through the forest.

It stabs at the earth with a hundred sticks.

It wears different coloured fleeces on its hips.

It has a hundred water bottles from which to take sips.

It rests to eat sandwiches, apples and crisps.

It has a hundred names, such as Margot and Steve.

Too many to remember, so just call him Centipede.
