The Spider

So, I'm cleaning our bathroom late this Fall,

When I decide to look up -- up, up on the wall.

And when I look up, what then do I see?

A spider - still little, but looking at me!

I keep it in watch as I dust down the walls,

And horrors! All of a sudden it falls!

I step back a pace with my duster in tow,

And that spider, it follows me where e'er I go!

I swing this way and that, trying to evade its dark grasp,

But it just keeps a-comin' - I let out a gasp.

I pray "Lord, please help me!" and then I look up,

And that's when I realize he's attached to the top!

It's the top of my duster - what makes him to fly,

So I lower him down to the flusher - bye-bye!

Now spiders don't usually frighten me so,

But a spider's a spider, no matter how small!

(Yes, this really happened today...and surprisingly yes, I did write it... =P)

There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: {the ants....the conies....the locusts...} The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

~ Proverbs 30:24, 28 ~

Reminds me of my Filipino spider experience last Christmas.. (and yes, that smile was pasted..)
