Huntsman Up My Shorts

Five in the morning storm rumbles in distance balmy, sweaty, thirsty in the half light of dawn I grab some shorts from the work clothes draw slip them on and a singlet down some water birds sing, crickets harmonize When I fill another glass of water I think something is odd with these shorts some big, hairy spider legs protrude out from there big huntsman up the left leg goes back up to hide I am awake now I am sweating now Thinking what best to do I shake the leg a bit feel the spider move around my leg........ eventually it dropped to the ground and disappeared under the wardrobe and I really am awake now.
