A fatal flaw
Several types of spider
share my house lately
Not a huge spider fan,
I wish they'd walk more sedately.
Pausing, but too briefly to
rest, then off they scurry,
web building for a living
and always in a hurry.
Not a gentle saunter,
a wander or a ramble
never do they feel
the need to simply amble.
It's the dashing that offends me,
they could shoot straight up my leg,
shelter in my underpants
and nestle on my peg.
It's precisely so with mice;
they never stop to chat,
if they did so, I'd be nice
without the urge to splat.
Wild creatures kill for food,
they have a good excuse,
but I can hardly make that claim
for a drop of beetle juice.
If I'm being really honest,
it's the scuttling at speed
which makes me want to kill them
when there's actually no need.
So, dawdle, potter, pootle,
roam, meander, walk,
mosey, tootle, take a stroll,
stretch six legs, let's talk.
Dude, if you were an ickle pickle spider and you saw a great human lumbering towards you making huge noises, would you sit about waiting for a friendly tete a tete? I reckon a few rumours about shoes might propel all your eight legs to scuttling. 🙂

Spiders are great. They eat the cockroaches.

I just usher them outside. They love mozzies, and I hate mozzies.
