The spider

poem by: Ada Phillips
Written on Jan 03, 2017

A great big hairy monster, 
His eight legs spread out wide, 
I looked at it and screamed, 
And ran away to hide. 

I ran around in circles, 
I didn't know what to do, 
I didn't dare enter the  bathroom, 
I couldn't go to the loo. 

I ran to my next door neighbour, 
Who was just about to dine, 
I told her, it's an emergency, 
Help me please, call 999.

The firemen, Police and Ambulance, 
Came rushing up my path, 
And a big, friendly Fireman, 
Took the Spider from my bath.
