‘Pidey

A tiny weenie little ‘pidey
building her web
right across my monitor.

Poor little thing
though you’re most welcome
are you sure
this is your native habitat?

I hope and pray
exposure to the gamma rays
and other nasty effusions
from my screen
don’t cause confusions
in your genes

Will I wake one dreadful dawn
and mourn
my hospitality
finding you grown
into a huge mutant,
of great ferocity?
Eating my face,
with alacrity?

Will I wake at all?
After this kindly act?
If not,
at least my karma is intact.

Ick...

I'm glad you appreciate those little suckers. I really appreciated the humor behind the gamma rays coming out of the computer, etc. I don't think the spider would be hearing such kind words coming out of me, as I'd be runnin' screamin' the other way.. ~Lynn (Jess K.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ "If guns kill people, then I can blame mis-spelled words on my pencil.." - Larry the Cable Guy ~ "Driver carries less than $20 in remorse..."

Spiders

are usefull little critters. I leave them be, unless they are sinking their wicked little fangs in me (which tends to only happen when I sleep - smart bastards). Gamma rays. Was she glowing the next day? Best, Ronda
