I'm tucked away in a very dark corner, I'm just like little Jack Horner, I'm not upset, I'm not perturbed, I don't think I will be disturbed. Along comes the maid to do the chores, Polishes windows and scrubs the floors, Gives everywhere a jolly good vac, A thorough spring clean - front and back. Of course when it comes to reaching high, She tends to leave or pass me by, Suspended there so delicate, As I gradually accumulate. You'd have to stare - with the help of glasses, 'Cos I'm not seen by them what passes, Most folk are content to let me be, For you don't grieve what you don't see. I suppose when all is done and said, My hopes are hanging by a shred, I ply a rather slender craft, I could disappear in a very strong draught! One day my secret will be out, And then you'll know without a doubt, The answer is simple - it's not very clever, You could have knocked me down with a feather! Made by a creature you often dread I weave a gossamer silken thread My foes ensnared - struggle they might No computer - just a slick website - I'M A SPIDER.. |
