John Read Poet Rhyme

Spiders

I found a bag of spiders
there's more than one or two.
I was thinking of releasing them 
but I wondered what they'll do.

I know that some are poisonous
and can give a nasty bite.
So should I rely take the chance
and let them see the light.

Will they weave a tangled web
now that would be OK.
For the web they weave I understand 
keeps those fly's at bay.

So I will set them free
for to keep them can be cruel.
As I respect each living thing
all creatures great and small.
