Spiders On a Plane
Poet heads up: No real spiders were used in the making of this poem.
All females sitting on a plane,
with the male pilot at the helm,
were sitting there having a drink
and chatting on their way to
a getting over your phobias convention,
when all of a sudden they felt
something creepy and crawly
crawl up their legs which was
really quite frightening since
most of them suffered from arachnophobia,
the tarantulas had been on
their way in the cargo bay
to star in a horror movie,
somehow they got out and
decided they wanted to play
and made their way to the ladies
who were still wearing their seat belts,
the ladies jumped up out of their
seats and started to screech and act crazy,
a couple of them including the flight attendants
fainted being frightened out of their wits
because they couldn't handle
the fight or flight situation,
with no bug spray or swatters anywhere
they only had one means of mass destruction,
so they all took off their high heels and
started to feel brave like an exterminator
as they quickly slaughtered one by one
the big hairy creepy tarantulas,
and as the plane landed the pilot
went in the back and wondered
what happened noticing all the carnage,
with some ladies still slumped over,
while the brave ladies gave each
other a high five and left the
plane with a big smile leaving
behind all the spider carcasses.
This spider episode also helping
to end many of the women's
arachnophobia!
