Arachnida
I’ve never befriend her.
Spider! She can never be my friend.
I can’t afford her disdainful sights
In the day and in the night.
Spider! She can never be my friend.
I can’t afford her anything.
The walk of her webs on my face,
When going out should I relate?
Her dirty fingers around my rooms
Upon my wall, ceilings,
And every nooks and crannies of my home.
She can’t be my child.
If she happens to be, I will disown her
On the day she is born.
She can’t be a member of my family.
If she happens to be, she won’t last long.
She can’t be my in law
If she is chanced to be, I will despise her.
Ugh Spider! I can’t just withstand her
Presence in my vicinity.
I have never befriend her
And never will I.
I have never befriend her fellow arachnids
And never will I (too).
#May be some one will tell me reasons why I should like her#
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
