Ninja Spider

Ninja Spider

Spying a spider on my wall
your not staying there - no never at all
with rolled up paper intent to squish
I tip toe over quietly shoosh shoosh shish

Approaching the spider grew it much bigger
I was ready to strike but spider was quicker
it moved and turned I swear to confront me
making me squeal - felt such a ninny

Did I imagine or was right did I see? 
the spider raise up four legs at me
like boxers ready to start a new round
spider poised to knock me to ground

Surprised I step back bewildered and stunned
rubbing eyes blurry, to see two not just the one
Shaking my head and puff out my chest
lets see who is going to win this big test

Paper slams down, the blighter did jump
flying toward me and what felt like a thump
I scream like a sissy my arms thrash away
look down on the floor there it did lay

I raise my foot high ready to stamp 
spider fast spinning, powers its amps
eight legs coiled to spring an attack
frantically moving - I'm out of here Jack!

Glanced in the mirror made my head spin
the spider was now on one of my chins
arms wildly thrashing in lunatic style 
slapping my face for a short while

Eyes down, eyes up, eyes side to side
little ninja had decided to hide
then suddenly from out of the blue 
came down its string web swinging it moves

Ninja with eight legs was kicking at me
hitting my nose brought me down on my knees
I swear I heard it scream eee - aarrr- eee
but then again that might of been me

Web spun round me tighter than Scrooge
spider won with all his ninja moves
ok, you win, you can live here with me
ninja spider and beaten, little old me.
