Spider

Coming in out of the heat, a spider crawled across my feet

it took my by surprise I jumped so high

it does not understand my fear

I can't explain what I just did

it's been with me since I was a kid

nursery rhymes instilled

along came a spider, sat down beside her

and whispered in her ear

If you've got sense enough to know

you've got somewhere else to go

I wish that you had sense enough

to go there

It's all I can do to not overreact

pick you up in a special glass

kept handy for the occasion

I call it spider transportation

You may not want to go outside

if you don't appreciate the ride

then I wouldn't go next door if I were you

you'll wind up flat on someone's floor

If you've got sense enough to know

you've got somewhere else to go

I wish that you had sense enough

to go there
