Kurt’s Blog: Ode to the Dumb & Lazy Spider

Do you know what sucks…

Spiders.

They suuucccccckkkk.

And now…a poem.

Spiders are dumb…spiders are hairy.

I find spiders to be extremely scary.

If I see a spider, do you know what I do?

I scream, I shiver, and stomp it with my shoe.

But spiders are good, the experts say…

Spiders are important, spiders save the day.

They eat the mosquitos, so that’s a good thing,

but the mosquitos are winning, hey spiders, where ya been?

You spiders are dumb, you spiders are lazy,

you’re letting the mosquitos drive us crazy.

If you’re going to be scary, at least do your job.

Otherwise, I’ll happily stomp you and leave you as a gross gelatinous glob.

 

Thank you.

Spiders are dumb….and lazy.

Sincerely,
Kurt
