I don't like spiders - do you? Having fun here.
Crime Doesn't Pay
by Aussie
I creeps and scuttles
Through smelly stuff, And I sees a finger in the leaves, so I grins to myself and heaves Myself up. Bite! I hears a scream of agony And the swollen finger pulls away. I says to myself. "That were good. Aunty Black Widow'll Be pleased wiv me" So I swells wiv pride And makes my way back To my lovely little nest Under the flowerpot. I keeps thinking how well I did. Of course I'm not a patch on Aunty Black Widow. My Aunty wears black all the time Since my uncle passed away. Mortein Mentholated did for him. Anyway, back in the web I greets my wife All friendly like And tells her about my success. Then suddenly the ground vibrates With footsteps. We hears a voice - "They're around here somewhere." And he lifts the flowerpot and Splat! |
