Poor chap! Wouldn't it be terrible if he received an injury that made it difficult for him to walk?
And could you keep a straight face whilst you invited him to play whist?
However, if he ever feels unwanted or unloved, he can come to the UK and join a Steam Locomotive preservation society!

I dunno - I think it might give him a deceitful walk.
It seems probable that he would weave his way on tangled webs . . .

...or you might say "wimble-wamble". [no whiter than the average duck] (hi dubious!) [/unwhitened]

wambling seems appropriate, but I'm not so sure about wimbling - that sounds like a boring occupation to me.
Perhaps ducking and diving would be a better description?

yeahbut, in wimble-wamble it's supposedly a reduplication of wamble and nothing to do with wimbling atall.
OED gives it as Brit. dialect meaning to roll about in walking; evidently not where you are.

It seems probable that he would weave his way on tangled webs . . .Well, if his webs got tangled (good one!  ), he'd weeble and he'd wobble and he would fall down. Hmm...how much wood could a wood duck duck if a wood duck could and would duck wood? (Oh my stars, folks, she's gone to stream-of-consciousness again!) What does one wood duck say to another? "Wood you like to go out with me?" What does a wood duck say to a wood duck decoy? "Why don't you answer me? What are you, a wooden-head?" What does a wood duck do to ward off bad luck? Knocks on wood, of course!
