{Sung to the tune of "Itsy, Bitsy Spider"}

The not-so-bitsy spider crawled up my outside wall

His beady eyes and creepy legs, my skin began to crawl!

Off came my shoe and smacked that sucker flat–

That not-so-bitsy spider ain’t nevah comin’ back!

That’s my submission for this week’s Friday’s 40…how ’bout yours? (And remember, your posts don’t have to be a literal interpretation of the photograph…abstract could go pretty doggone deep or humorous on this one!)

    Karisma, outside, I leave ’em alone; inside? they’d better stay outta sight!

    I love your little ditty. I did not wax poetic today, but a bit nostalgic instead.

    3 feet? I thought there was always a spider within 6 feet of you. Yeeech!
    That is one ugly spider. But a great poem.

    I tend to make it a personal goal to never go to blogs that show pics of spiders. But your poem about killing it makes me forgive you. I hope you did kill it. I can’t believe that you pick those suckers up to throw them! I scream, and cry and make my kids kill them and remove the dead body.

    I love it, I’d never have gotten close enough to smack it though, I’d have been cowering in the corner!

    Little Miss Robin
    Sat on a Bobbin
    Eatin’ her curds and whey…
    Along came a spider
    And sat down beside her
    So the beat the hell out of it with her shoe.
