The Spider

 The Spider

I look up to a corner,
And what might I see,

But a round little spider, 

Staring at me!

I got my shoe ready and took a whack, 

But that darned spider fell down my back!

I squirmed and I wiggled,

I jumped and I screamed,

My, this was worse than any nightmare I've dreamed!

The spider fell out, and onto the floor,

At last I thought he was no more,

But that spider got up!

He stood up proud,

He talked wise words, clear and loud:
I am sorry about staring,

I know that it's rude,

But the way that you smush us is very crude.

I want you to stop it, 

We'll leave you alone,

Said the small little spider in serious tone,

So I got up and agreed,

Our battle was won,

And now was time for playing and fun!
