Was That a Spider
Was that a spider? I asked my ghost.
She nodded her head, fixing my last piece of toast.
Can’t you do something about it? I asked, afraid.
She poured herself a glass of my pink lemonade.
What good are you? I asked in fear
As the enormous spider began drinking my beer.
Between the spider and the ghost I am out of food.
And not truly in the best kind of mood.
The spider and the ghost gave each other a big high five.
Making me feel silly as I watched the two of them jive.
I would leave my house to them both, for sure.
Except who would feed my pet cobra, Mr. Lamure?
