The Spider Returns

All Hallows Eve regardless Not Easter or birthdays Tenacity of critters Got me swirling in a haze They get into the bathtub The sink or in the car Lord knows just where they come from But they haven't traversed far So often I must rescue Whether delicate or tall Re-house them to the log-pile As they can't ascend the wall In shameless eight-legged tap dance They weave and spin and twirl Like death defying knitting Timeless pattern they unfurl Close up they're pretty ugly But the beauty they create Captures sunlight in the morning Or a night time dinner date I hope you have a lifetime Knowing what it means to give For I Love you, little critter As you teach us how to live CV
