Crawly things

oft make me cringe,

pull back;

stop in my tracks

and start to panic.

Among them

spiders

scorpions

and snakes,

are critters

that I fear.

They give me goosebumps;

and my neck hairs stand straight

up,

if I but glimpse one.

For sure! A student, was in arms length of me, with a harmless snake wrapped around their arm. Nope — my head was a-spinn’n! Congratulations, Emile!
