I’d like to see Little Miss Muffet take a seat beside it. Before you sprayed it.

Ha! That’s actually a very good idea Lin, but probably out of my artistic league using characters alone, I don’t think I’ve ever sprayed a spider, only invasive wasps and ants lol! Cheers David

Certainly not me, perhaps this one is more metaphorical in nature, bit off more than it could chew, or slurp up lol! Cheers David

clever poem and picture David - I much prefer to see a wily wasp in the web instead - just trying to get pest control to remove a wasps nest - the likkle buggers have invaded our bird box! hugs jan xx

Heya Jan, I did a DIY job on a wasps nest in a vent near my bathroom a few weeks ago, half tin of spray killed the lot of them, best of luck getting rid of yours, cheers David
