Spider's Web

I was mowing the yard and looked up and there was a spider web right in my face. As I continued mowing I thought about what the spider might have experienced.


 

 
I was mowing the yard the other day.
A big spider web was right in my way.
Big fat spider was looking at me.
Don’t know what he did but I had to pee.
 
The web collapsed as I drove away.
I don’t know what the spider had to say
when I came by I looked for him again
on the web he was starting to spin.
 
The next afternoon the web was in place.
He stared at me with his big ugly face.
A piece of paper was hanging for me
and he pointed so I’d be sure to see.
 
It had a poem he wrote in his fright.
I guess he’d written it during the night.
As I took time for the spider’s verse
it really made me fell so much worse.
 
“This human ran right into my home.
He had no hair, he was a chrome dome.
He tore my web from where it had rested.
A web that lasted when it was tested.
 
“He seemed to enjoy what he had done
even though he seemed to quickly run.
I think he was sad but I can’t be sure.
That look on his face seemed to be pure.
 
“I wrote this poem in case he can read
to tell him I forgive him for his deed.
Perhaps next time he’ll keep his route clear
as he remembers that I am still here.”

Larry, that's what Aesop meant all the time, just if we stop and listen then we will hear them. Terrific good story!

I've been missing Phydoux, so this spider enchanted me and fulfilled that need for some of your cleverness. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

God bless you. Kathy

Exquisite . . . I loved this humerous little poem . . . Even gave us a lesson about the forgiving part . . . something I have had much difficulty doing to those who have wronged me during my life . . .
