The Oversexed Spider

I'm glad it wasn't a tarantula.

I was taking a bubble bath one night,

I saw a spider beneath the skylight;

I was relaxing as I watched him crawl

across the top of the ceiling wall.

 

Than he disappeared out of sight

and I thought everything was all right;

But out of nowhere he appeared

upon the bathtubs edge he peered.

 

He dove into my gardenia bath

disturbing my primrose path;

I screamed and jumped out of the tub

quickly thinking I pulled the plug;

down the drain it went...yes...UGH!

 

As I stood there dripping all wet

I felt like little Miss Muffet,

I guess it was her spider I met.

The peeping spider... I would have pulled the plug too...just the thought is terrifying. Yet, the spider probably just wanted to enjoy the comfy bath. This is such a cute story.

[SyberRose]

I couldn't believe it when it happened...he wanted to get a bath too ha.
Thank you for peeking in...appreciate your comments...SyberRose

I hope you don't mind if I call this poem "cute", as that's just what it is to me. Young children would giggle at its telling, I'm quite sure. Very nice, SyberRose.

thank you samuel...I don't think we have met before...yes its sort of cute. I dont write too many humorous poems...actually I wrote it years ago. Thank you for peeking tonight...SyberRose

It was my pleasure. I write quite a lot about youngsters or stories from their perspective, so a poem suitable for children is also suitable for me. (I don't think I've ever completely grown up)

[SyberRose]

ha...yes I feel the same...I don't read poems where I have to enter my age ha..
and I stay away from IHOP...I dont like discounts haa.

Not bad. I think you've overused your ellipses a little here - makes the piece a little more repetitive and bland, which is obviously never good. The rhyme scheme tied in with the content fairly well, and there's definitely a quality to this that doesn't take itself seriously. Well done.

[SyberRose]

Thank you,yes sometimes when Im not sure if I want a period or a comma etc. I throw in the ellipses, but thank you for bringing my attention to that Trigorin and for taking time to read. SyberRose.

[SyberRose]
