Poem: To One Super Scary Critter

January 4, 2012

It once forced a famous lady named Muffet
to hastily vacate her tuffet.

And according to what historians say,
she also left her curds and whey.

If, for a reason your memory begs,
just imagine a critter with eight furry legs.

My personal courage begins to ebb,
as I picture the creature spinning a web.

Of weapons, spiders employ a medley:
some secrete a poison that's deadly.

This one, fortunately, can do no harm;
it's a replica built at a Vineyard farm.
