Poem

Speedy the spider casts a small intricate shadow on the wall

The nickname had stuck from when she moved in slow motion

But by now she was blessed with formidable pace and lived

Up to full velocity other than in sarcastic ridicule of others


Mind you and mind me she was still under mischievous spells

Of young adolescent hominid bullies who redirected her path

Who taunted her with two yoyo strings attached to her web 

Teasing little creature unkindly had been their attempt to spin

Their own yarn as they thought to teach humanity’s lesson


Viscous spittle challenged her net and the wannabe masters

Watched in disgrace as the little creature slid up and down

She is harmless does not possesses a scorpion’ sting but wait

For the tale because survival relies not on puppets nor strings


‘We altered her little helpless trapeze’ the youngsters marvelled

‘Just wait until we grow up and she faces the full adult power we wield’

But Speedy had been around the blocks of neat passage for good


And she concentrated on more important fight rather than flight

Swallowed her male companion and was a black widow for now

Arachnophobia darkened their self-righteous tricks up their sleaze

They needed their yoyo to make a slingshot to shoot vicious venom

But discovered discourtesy leaves you none wiser but devoured alive
