Spider Pegs
This is the very first poem I wrote.
1977 I was 9 years old.
Hanging out the washing…
Reaching for the pegs…
I went to grab another…
And appeared these hairy legs.
It crawled out from the peg…
And onto my hand…
I looked at it with horror…
And shook it on the sand.
It was a spider! Oh yuk!
I looked at it with disgust…
I then put my foot on it…
And neatly squished it up.
I looked into the basket…
Making sure there was no more…
And started hanging the washing…
As I did once before!
