Ggrrrrr the Spider Has Returned

I prepare myself for a deep relaxing bath
but that dratted spider was out to have a laugh

As I pour scented bubble bath into the water
Spidey climbs the wall  - he’d also bought his daughter*!

He raises a spindly leg as if to wave hello
that pesky crawling spider really needs to go

It's a living a nightmare, it isn’t a dream
So I emit a very loud ear piercing scream

My heroic hubby dashes to my aid
as my distress was clearly displayed

Whilst I stand their screaming like a stupid bimbo
hubby tosses the weeny spider out the bathroom window 

Alas the daddy spider he has other plans
and wriggles his way out of hubby’s hands

Hubby drops the creepy critter onto the floor
spidey plans his escape, he's heading for the door

Hubby pounces on him at breakneck speed
and squashes him flat ... he’s dead indeed*


*A great deal of poetic licence – thankfully there was only one spider and he was tossed out of the Window* I think the warm weather is bringing these pesky spider’s out from hiding:-(

Mick Talbot Date: 6/9/2018 12:37:00 PM Great couplets, but I'm bias, poor spiders, they actually do a lot of good around the house, eating lots of other things that really could bite and do you harm, in the dark when you can't see they'll be taking mosquitoes quite easily, along with loads of nasties, go on let the spiders run free, but out the window if you really must, peace of mind, reasons justified, its what I do to keep to my Mrs satisfied. hugs Mick Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/9/2018 4:33:00 PM They do get rid of flies etc, just wish they would do it outside the house not in it lol:-) hugs jan xx

Fauxcroft Wade Date: 6/9/2018 8:49:00 AM Gripping and alarming tale of something that terrifies many, great story though of a damsel in distress, a White Knight hero and a happy ever after.
