meeting spider web princess

she is the princess of something and she invited us down
I heard this whispery secret all over our fine meadow town
can I come too? I asked, wondering what she was the princess of
Sure, said a frog, a snake, a lizard, and a lovely turtle dove

I arrived at the koi pond at a quarter until eight
the princess of spider webs was a few minutes late
a cheer went up when she came by, with her pet spider Cleat
I left quickly because he was huge and it looked like he wanted to eat.
