SPIDER

BY QDID

Eight long black hairy legs attached to the body as big as a silver dollar.

Crept from underneath the desk, guaranteed to generate a holler.

Everybody busy so no one bothered,

To see the cunning arachnoids' menacing presence.

As it scurried across the floor.

Destination in sight,

And in a hurry to deliver the fright,

The legs worked together

One after the other

Going higher and higher

Until the goal was within reach.

Unsuspecting and lost in thought,

Jenny shuffled the many chores her boss had brought,

Lifting one paper and then another

No time to shudder!

Hands flew up in defense,

Her face intense,

A scream piercing the air

And out of her chair.

The sounds of work came to a halt

As Jenny did vault

Into the arms of

Her dark-haired boss.
