Poem
Another sleepless night, reading a book by lamplight I never thought I would witness a terrible deadly fight Annoyed at no sleep, and trying to concentrate Then it all happened and two did meet and sealed their deathly fate I caught a glimpse of the start out of the corner of my eye It made me jump I was not sure, it was really up quite high I watched them circle, testing, I didn’t know what to do... I thought that I would watch a while, I nearly regretted it too. The one on the right jabbed forth and caught the other unawares I wondered if there were more about or was it just the pair. The second one seemed to dance away but then lunged back quite quick I’m sure I heard the contact noise, it was beginning to make me sick They grabbed each other and fought and jabbed and then they both fell over I was pulling bed clothes high up now my book had dropped and turned over The noise they made when they hit the floor was really something loud I nearly screamed what should I do, but I didn’t want a crowd I lost sight of them and then I thought the fight was done But after a while one reappeared but it was the only one. The second was wrapped up tight, being dragged along by the first It looked like one had killed the other with a bloody thirst What to do I, must move, I am riveted to the spot What if there are more of them, I might cop for the lot... Sanity prevailed, as the first one now falls over too I know I must do something; I know now what to do Hubby is asleep in the bedroom next to mine That way he can get some sleep I won’t disturb him all the time I call him in, “I need you here please" I open his door wider Come quick and bring the vacuum you need to suck up a dead spider It's not one really but over there they have had a terrible fight Don’t worry he said being the man, everything will be alright He gallantly stood on a chair the vacuum pipe in his hand Good grief they have killed each other they are off to dead spider land. Are you sure they are gone and they won’t crawl back out Don’t worry if they do just come in and give a shout. Needless to say I left the room I could not sleep there now So until my spider sense stop tingling, I will not go in no how. ©~GG~4/09/2012
