Itsy Bitsy Turkey Leg


Behold the silly spider
That thought it was a fly,
She laid herself upon a web...
waited patiently to die.

All the other tiny bugs
stared in disbelief
As she sank herself stupidly
in irony and grief.

Patiently she waited
amidst dew and debris
death did not notice
her wiggling helplessly.

Foolish little spider
with dreams of wings and dread
now snuggled up to flytrap paper
wishing you were dead.

All your little spider friends
are sad to see you so.
They web for you nervously
get well wishes, pretty bows.

Behold the schizophrenic fly
who thought it was a spider.
it also thought it was a dog,
a pencil...a bull fighter?!
