David Fisher Poet Rhyme

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!

Jim Slaughter September 7, 2023 at 10:36 AM 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.

Gershon Wolf September 6, 2023 at 6:34 PM This is such fun, David! So imaginative. And so many 'huhs?' to deal with. Great stuff.
