David Crandall Poet Rhyme

A Spider is Not an Insect

This poet has most incorrectly checked 
The little box which indicates "insect." 
This poem, I therefore flatly reject. 
I sharply reproach the writer.  

A spider, never an insect, was. 
I say this insistently because, 
He should say "sorry."  Until he does,
I remain a concerned spider.

Sotto Poet May 3, 2024 at 12:33 PM This poetry eloquently and powerfully conveys the meaning of precise and accurate labels and classifications. Ideas centered on the difference between spiders and insects were articulated flawlessly. I believe spiders are properly classified as Arachnida. David Crandall May 3, 2024 at 5:06 PM Haha, thanks Sotto. Unfortunately, there's no "arachida" box. lol. I'll let the spider take that up, and worry about whether I should check the "poet" box next to my name :-)
