So there I was one Thursday night
Just kickin' back alone in my bed
Got my jammies on & pillows fluffed
With one arm tucked under my head
Staring off into space, lost in thought
'til I saw something move on my wall,
above me was a pretty big spider
skipping along frantically, trying not to fall
but fall he did, & he landed close by
as I laid there frozen with fear
at first I couldn't tell if he intended to cuddle or bite
then ever so slowly he began to draw near
his gaze settled on me with uncertainty
with his six or eight little eyes
then he brushed up against me ever so gently
I just kept still and whimpered & cried
Apparently he was smitten with me
And so chose a spot on my hand to sit
I couldn't tell him I don't like him like that
"No spider, Not even…A little…Bit."
Then I said "Spider – This could get crazy
With all of our legs entwined"
"you with eight, and me with two,
In total that's ten legs combined."
He looked really sad, and I felt kinda bad
Because a love like his is quite rare
So it went from being a one night stand
To this now complicated affair.
