Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

This poem is dedicated to my Soup buddy Ian Guyler and is inspired by/in response to his fantastic, funny piece, 'SpiderFinger'. Thanks for all your valued input, Ian!

Spidertoe - For Ian Guyler

================================

I have a feeling I cant shake...
I know not of it what to make.
I'm certain someone else is here
and this idea keeps me awake.

I first make sure the shelves are clear,
then, into every corner peer.
If someone HAS been watching me,
then I shall catch the buccaneer!

How IS he managing to flee?
He's stealthy. Or... perhaps he's wee?
And when he runs, where does he go?
How can I catch what I can't see?

The finest victories come slow.
I've cornered (finally!) the foe
high heels were made for stepping on...

Spiderfinger......? .Meet SpiderTOE!
