You put your right foot in, and the other one, and the other one, and the other one,
and the other one, and the other one, and the other one, and the other one.
You put your right foot out, and the other one, and the other one, and the other one,
and the other one, and the other one, and the other one, and the other one.
You do the hokey pokey and you weave another web,
that’s what it’s all about.
Will the following spider please step forward.
You weave your webs
to little fanfare
blinged out with dew
in the chill morning air
but they’re the ones I see,
for invisible in space,
are the ones I walk smack into
strung all across my face.
Oooohhhh…itsy bitsy spiders haunt my pool deck area..we sweep them away and next day, there they are again…Yuck. Great job…enjoyed this.
Thanks! I suppose on the whole, they get an undeservedly bad press, but they do make our lives difficult.
If we’d all be so industrious and persistent…plus have the common sense to not build our projects in doorways where they’d be tripped over and destroyed. My, what all could be accomplished in this old world!
I do wish the spiders and the webs would move away from the garage and my gardens. Actually I wish they’d leave my universe but then I’d probably have swarms of something else. I feel downright mean when I spray to kill them. My cure for that is to have the Orkin Man come out more often – he can take on the guilt and I don’t have to worry about where the spiders have gone.
Sheri- I’m the resident spider killer in our house. Someone screams (usually my wife) and I go squish it. Funny story: The other day I was doing my recycling and I’m talking to the guy helping me there. This good sized black spider slowly crawls across his chest. Quickly I realized that if I said, “hey, you’ve got a big spider on you,” there was a good chance he would do something unmanly like scream and do a silly dance. So, I decided in the interest of saving his face that I wouldn’t do or say anything. The spider moved out of sight and the moment was over… except it came back and crawled around some more. Once again it disappeared. I hope it didn’t bite him later on.
