Arachnophobia

Haven’t written anything for a while but as it’s the time of year for the spiders to come out, this inspired me.

Arachnophobia

From a corner in the Bathroom, something caught my eye,
A massive hairy spider went scurrying right by
That horrid nasty critter sending shivers down my spine
So I zapped the hairy monster with a blast of shower shine.
Why do they look so frightening, the horrid little things
I know they cannot hurt me, they  will not bite or sting
What is it about Spiders that make them menacing?

It must be all those legs, the way they dangle from their webs,
The way they trap their dinner in those silver silken threads
How they intricately weave those cobwebs overhead.
And oh I really hate it when there’s one above my bed
I hate the way they hide in the darkest nooks and crannies,
The way they just surprise you when you sitting watching telly
I really do hate Spiders, they just turn my legs to jelly.
