Redback
Redback
Black Widow spiders we have here,
Way down south in Aus. They live,
We call em Red Back spiders, dear,
Splash of red on the, butt no jive,
but poison just aint cider.
Bite burns like fire McGwyver,
Been bit myself of course,
You find em on the toilet seat,
When bowels can cause remorse,
Watch out for this spider.
One visit to the nursing home,
The nurses were a screaming,
Spider on the bloody wall,
I punched it out, a winner called,
Flushed toilet water, dreaming.
