“Spider Bait”
Spiders help or hurt
Depending on one’s point of view
Mine is somewhat jaundiced
Having suffered bites of every hue.
Apparently my bedclothes
Harbor an arachnid
A sneaky little bastard
Who preys upon my bare shins.
Thoroughly I search the sheets
Looking for this menace
If he be wise he’ll run away
Or serve a fatal sentence.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

That’s a hell of a bite. Either you’re allergic or it’s venomous.
In other news, that jumping spider is cute as hell. We have ultra-tiny ones here with black and white stripes called Zebra Jumping Spiders (yeah, the taxonomists aren’t poets) that dart away when you lean in close to admire them. I look forward to them every spring.

I never saw “my” spider. Hopefully I crushed it in my sleep.

I have lots of sympathy for you. I’ve occasionally had spider bites before and they’re no fun at all. Anyway, what did I ever do to the spider?

Apparently they only bite in defense, so whatever you’ve done it was a biting offense.

I may have made rude faces in my sleep or something.

Possibly. Rude faces get to those arachnids every time.
