Those Hairy Legs

I always drink me something
in the morn first thing I do
to wet my dry and scratchy throat
before I'm off to school

now you can have your juices
your apple, orange and such
they're mostly sugar anyway
just ask a health food nut

I thought to try some coffee
just like my parents do
they look like two old zombies 
before they get their brew

but I'm getting off the subject
as I mentioned hairy legs
what's that got to do with coffee
so let me now explain

so one sleepy tired morning
I stumbled through the den
to the table in the kitchen
and got a cup to fill

nowdays they make it easy
for some coffee to begin
just push a little button
and out it comes again

so in anxious anticipation
as minutes seemed to pass
I hovered like a mother hen
to hatch that cup at last

with one eye barely open
I squint into the light
reaching for my cup that's full
in happy pure delight

I raise the cup up to my lips
and right up to my nose
I close my eyes and with a smile
begin to drink it in

now I had drank 'bout half the cup
when I felt a' scratchin' in my throat
I drank some more to wash it down
then looked inside my cup and found

something floating in there too
oh gosh, what's this, what do I do
then shivers passed my body through
as I gasped in horror to further view

the biggest spider, legs and all
like hairy ones you see on walls
but only half of it remained
the other half, that half I drank

with sweating brow and weakened knees
could barely stand, could hardly breathe
I coughed and coughed to clear my throat
in hopes to throw the spider up

in vain I tried an hour spent
to get him up but down he went
at least he's gone, though gone not far
he's in my stomach like in a jar

I shook and shivered most the day
thinking only of those hairy legs
as every time I closed my eyes
those hairy legs would come to mind

so remember now when you get up
before you sip or take a sup
it's wise to look inside your cup
right before you fill it up

and to this day, I slowly creep
up to my cup to take a peek
and once I'm there I hope to find
no hairy legs of any kind
