Take Me To the Old Country

I am drinking my sugary sweet pink grapefruit juice when I spy it a black something floating about It is waving to me. Yelling something. I fish it out and get a magnifying glass. I can see it is a spider now. It asks me to get it back to the old country. I don’t know which old country. It gives me a bunch of hints. The voice is so low….. Greece? Spain? Scotland? I am straining to listen. Then I have an idea. There is a magnifier app on my I-phone. I run to get it. When I return the spider is gone. Have you seen my I-phone? I ask my husband. He holds up my I-phone and says “yes, I just smashed a spider with it.”

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I don't know if this is what is meant by 'poetic justice,' but it sure is funny! Thanks, gw
