Spiders

The following poem was inspired by actual events while riding the van. We can thank the girl for this:

I SAT ON A SPIDER

I sat on a spider
While riding in the car
Are we almost there?
Is it very far?

I sat on a spider
That was pretty dumb
I think it must have bit me
My butt is going numb

I sat on a spider
Not a good idea
My tongue is swelling
I can’t say onomatopoeia

I sat on a spider
Not my best work
Should we consult a physician?
My head is starting to jerk

I sat on a spider
What a terrible plan
The room is getting dark
I can’t even see my hand

I sat on a spider
Call the doctor quick
My hair is getting thinner
While my head is getting thick

I sat on a spider
I think I’m going to die
Oh wait – it’s just a daddy long legs
Never mind.
