A Hallway Spider
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 2 times

Other Poems by Connie Hinnen Cook


"There's a SPIDER!...in the hallway!
As you walk into the hall...
As you start into the hallway,
It's just halfway up the wall!

"Be my hero, honey...GET IT!
Yes, you're napping, hon, I know...
But the *bathroom's* down that hallway,
And I've really got to *go*!

"O-o-ooh, it's running! At the top, now!
See if you can reach that far...
It's a BIG one! No! Don't *squish* it!
Wait! I'll get a mayonnaise jar!

"There it goes! There! Don't you *see* it!?
Git-it-git-it-git-it! ~ Hey!
Watch the light-switch! Over *here*, now!
Ple-e-ease! Don't let it get away!

"Here's the jar, hon...oh, so slow-ly...
Gent-ly now...so it won't see...
Good! You've got it! Here's the jar-lid!
Careful now...don't let it free!

"There it goes, down to the bottom...
Yes! It's trapped!! I'm *safe* at last!!!
Now, the bathroom! Gotta run, hon!
QUICK!! You've gotta LET ME PAST!!"

--Connie

"The spider taketh hold
with her hands,
and is in kings' palaces."
(Proverbs 30:28, KJV)
AND, in common folks' hallways! :0)
