A Bag of Spiders

A bag of Spiders

Today, a special delivery came,
Spiders in a bag, a new game.

Open with caution, it warns,
If you are careless, they will swarm.

This writer is a fighter
And will not be bit by a spider.

I follow the instructions to a tee,
Soon they are free and looking at me.

I invited my friends to play,
I waited in anticipation for what they would say.

We four gathered around the table,
Mustering as much courage as we were able.

I took the dice and rolled,
The spiders took off randomly and uncontrolled.

A second roll of the dice
And they began to play nice.

Finished the game, coming in first,
Being sore losers, my friends disbursed.
