A Surprise In the Grapes

A Surprise in the Grapes By Elton Camp In a pack of grapes from the store Meg found a thing never seen before Eight legs and shiny black Horrors! It was looking back She couldn’t just let it pass For it had a red hourglass Thus, it is quite plain to see A black widow it has to be Meg let out a horrified scream As if in the midst of a bad dream One glance for her was ample Those grapes she’d never sample To a spider with toxin so severe Meg won’t risk coming near If you think this is just a joke Google it and you might choke In several states they’ve been found Before eating grapes, look around! Fresh grapes can be a delight But they might be your last bite! (This is NOT a work of fiction)
