Sleeping with Spiders...

I dislike spiders,

But when I’m sleeping,

I don’t know they are there,

Cuddling up next to me to keep warm,

Then biting me when I roll over ain’t of them fair…

 

They make me itch oh so much,

I ice the bite to make it easier to the touch,

But it takes several days to get shed of their venom,

To bed & to avoid getting bit, I should just wear denim…

 

Over time I’ve killed a few,

Though the next time I make them pay,

Better to drop them in my sewer tank,

And watch them flush down and away…

Hi Ed, I don't like spiders and snakes! But they always seem to find me... what's up with that? I love to flush, too! Thank you for sharing...

Ed,
I have and always will be horrified of spiders. They terrify me! If I sleep with them I hope I never know. I'd never go to bed again!

Blessings my friend,

They are there, and everywhere, brother, so you best be nice to them - we need spiders for many things. And this should freak you out and get you itchin real good - for our entire lives, we are usually within seven inches of some type of spider lurking about - most of the time, we don't even know they're there - but they are!

Yea I am with you there my friend and as spider time rolls around I dread walking outside my door in the morning for no matter how many times I clear away their webs they always manage to build a new one for me at face height every morning.

Just be careful with those spiders; some of them can leave a nasty bite! Gad, I hates spiders! *BRRR*
