Going For a Spider Walk

I awoke as a spider With eight legs planted Steady I stood there Level not slanted Which is not bad With nothing to prove Until I was bored And needed to move Eight legs after all Were more than I knew How do deal with And I hadn’t a clue I moved the front left Then shifted two rights Then two more lefts But it didn’t seem right For I spun around Counter clockwise And repeated that way For twenty two tries Maybe I should go Right, right, right Left right left Then a left, right? But that didn’t help I was far from deft Coz each time I tried I left out a left That left me tired So I went back to bed Though had a nightmare About spinning a web!

With the trouble I sometimes have trying to synchronize my two legs, I can only imagine what an arachnid must go through with eight. A very enjoyable read, David.

This is such fun, David! So imaginative. And so many 'huhs?' to deal with. Great stuff.
