Was a Wolf Spider
wandering 'round.
Searching for dinner
On the dark ground.

It didn't make webs,
didn't have a tunnel.
No traps or sticky threads,
No venom or funnel.

But deadly nonetheless,
Striking so quick.
Relentlessly tracking,
And named for this trick.

Traveling quickly,
Hiding from the light,
Stalking its prey,
Having a bite.

Now some say they're icky,
Some get creeped out.
But taking the time
to just look about

Shows how essential
are these little creatures.
Intricate killing spiders
with deadly brown features.
