Phobia

by Neonewman

I'm terrified by their very existence.
Itsy, bitsy my ass.
The smallest of the lot appears as big as a Louisiana rat.
At least to me.
I spend thousands on repellents annually.
Yet still they come.
These menacing creatures.
I can appreciate the reason for their existence.
But do they have to look so damned evil.
Couldn't they be fluffy and cuddly or something?
Eight legged monsters scaling the walls.
Commandeering the trees and shrubbery.
I simply fear the freaks.

Hell, I can't even watch Spider-man!
