Spider, Kitchen Floor; Sunday A.M.

A black widow?
(Quick shudder)
A brown recluse?
Lurking in shoes.
Red Rover, Red Rover,
one bite and it's over?
No just a half inch "noir"
on her way to the car,
children at home
alone.

Hi, dear Friend. I think of the widow every time I put on my "yard" shoes which is just once in a while. I suppose I should shake them vigorously. I think I've read everything now, so just checking up. How are you? We have at least eleven stray kitties on our front porch for food every day. Five kittens. I hope they grow a little more before the really cold weather. Love, Dave
