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.

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.

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 :-)
