Spider
By Ruth Calder Murphy (Arciemme)

Watch me running,
I am fast,
see me scuttle
quickly past.
Warm and safe
in silver web,
sticky, silky
cobweb bed.
Creeping, crawling
here and there,
up the walls,
in your hair.
Eight long legs
and lots of eyes,
I spin webs
and catch the flies,
then I eat them
for my tea.
Very tasty,
and they’re free!
