Bag of Spiders

Inside this cell no sell, just a bag of spiders big and fat with gnarly hands she tucks away fifty crawlies in her hat Her name is Katz and she loves cats but not old stinky rats she thrums aside the prison door like a pining cat Witches brew and boogaloo I cast a spell on you muddle muddle fuddle duddle here's a stick of fever few as the warden goes a jumping he unlocks on cue spider spider drunk on cider, wackalacka spew ! On a broom made of chrome I will fly me back to Rome all the spiders in my sack will find their way back home wiggle wiggle jiggle niggle cruise but do not roam in my cauldron little Gretel, cries and weeps alone Well here is how the bones are stewed soft and tender, gently brewed well here is how the bones are stewed soft and tender, freshly stewed....

Congrats on 6th place in my contest! Admirable and inspiring work as always! Loved the last stanza! The "stew" at the end was great.

I sometimes feel them crawling on me when I am sleeping. Black ones. I do not know where they come from. I dont kill them i put them in paper and take them outside. I made a mistake of not using a paper towel and just used my bare hands and it bite me. I was surprised at the pain it caused it wasnt a lot of pain but it was enough to teach me a lesson. Thanks for shairng Vie...

You have put the witches of Macbeth to shame. What a great poem. I too hate rats.

The narration tickled my fancy, clever style, and fun words made for the incantations. An unscrupulous ending! B0l in contest, Vienna.

Vienna, your delightful poem was a clever piece of writing that even managed to make spiders seem cute despite their inherent creepiness. Best wishes for the contest
