Spider Shower
A spider sitting in the shower.
Just wanted to wash up for an hour.
But this spider is making me nervous.
I tried to shampoo but was feeling hard pressed.
Suddenly that spider jumped about.
I tried to splash him with water and almost started to shout.
I became brave enough to throw him onto the bathroom rug.
So this spider decided to shrug.
He was in the middle of his own shampoo.
And didn’t have a clue.
As to why he couldn’t use the body wash as well.
He just wanted some good smell.
So he simply sprayed himself with perfume.
Coughed a little at the fume.
And crawled into a crack in the early morning.
The water soon stopped pouring.
His spider friend wondered what went wrong.
This poor spider just wanted to enjoy the steam and sing a song.
But maybe tomorrow he can have such delight.
For now he is relaxing in this crack at daylight.
Spiders like to shower too.
They like to use the soap that is blue.
But humans don’t understand their needs.
That spiders have sweat that beads.
And no hands to turn on the faucet.
So today he has to do nothing and sit.
And eat his fly with traces of shampoo in his hair.
But it’s not all despair.
Tomorrow this person will be taking a bubble bath.
And I hope to join without any wrath!
