Poem: Fall of the Spider
Note:
This is my latest spider encounter.
This picture is a little smaller than this spider's actual size!
Those of you who know much about me know that I usually go to great lengths to protect spiders and other critters...as much as it is possible! If I can I will capture a spider in a wet paper towel and put him out! This time I couldn't!
Sometimes you just gotta do what must be done! :(
Fall of the Spider
Spider, spider on my wall...
hope you’re ready for a fall.
I can’t have you in my home,
can’t leave you free to romp and roam.
Can’t leave you on my ceiling, high...
above my bed where I must lie!
Would you crawl upon my bed...
upon my pillow...my hair my head?
Or on my toes, if they’re exposed...
or would you crawl across my nose?
Or take a sip from my water cup?
No! I won’t share with you one sup!
If I could, I’d set you free.
I’d put you out and let you be!
But there’s no way with you so high!
I have no other choice... do I?
I don’t take this lightly, though!
I just know you have to go!
So I spray - but not with glee!
I have no choice - it’s you or me!

I would probably have run into the wall and hurt myself if I saw that thing! I am scared to death of spiders but I like your poetry!
Hi Judy,
I find spiders interesting...but NOT in my house!
I like to look at the webs when I see them outside.
Happy 4th. to you!
Junie
Junie, I hope that poem was intended to be hilarious... because it was!! Thanks for the laugh, and thanks to the spider, too, as the laugh is at his expense!
:) Yah- I hoped folks would find it a fun poem to read!
Truly- I don't like to kill things, you know- but HAD to this time!!
Hope you're doing well, Skye and hope you all have a happy 4th!
Junie
Maybe you could sweep it down with a broom next time, and then take it outside?
I don't like to kill things either... except mosquitos!!!
I thought of that but I was afraid it would get away from me before I could catch it ... go under the bed...
Wouldn't have bothered me so much in any other room, other than the bed room! Yuck! I could imagine it getting on me while I was sleeping!
Oh, well- seeing spiders in the house doesn't happen often- thank goodness!
Junie
*Shivers* I can't live w/them myself. I LOVE your poem! It's so spot on and well written :)
:) lol- Thanks, Carolyn.
Your poem reminds me of the spider that sent me to the emergency room who bit me in my bed. He had to go to spider heaven too.
:)
Sorry I missed your comment -way back when it was written...or at least I didn't respond to it as I did the others!
Yes- spider bites can be bad! Sorry you went through that
Junie
