Spiders

Spider Phobia


One morning as I was getting dressed
I suddenly shrieked in alarm
For there much to my disgust
A spider crawling up my arm

Leg after leg after leg after leg
He made his way up my sleeve
Looking down at his huge body
Trying desperately not to heave

Finally coming to my senses at last
And realising he was there
I shrieked once more, shook my hand
And he cascaded into the air

Round and round and round he flew
Then landed in a heap on the floor
With much dignity he unraveled himself
and legged it through the door!!
