A Spider I Dream!

Woke up from the dream
I had last night
From 6' 2" to a spiders height
Stuck in the bath with polished sides
Tried to climb, all i could do was slide

Where do i go what do i do now
I'm so small i can hardly shout
What do i say, hey it's me down here
Any females that walk in, will they fear?

Not the dreaded punishment that's awaits our fall
Squashed flat, newspaper and all
Down the drain in a torrent of fear
As she screams, oh please don't come near

Thank the lord it was only a dream
A 6' 2" spider now that's a theme

Spiders are creepy, crawly and I hate everything about those eight-legged pests. But, this write is very creative and thank you for the chuckle.
