The Survivalist
The Survivalist
I am not fond of spiders
but stand far off in awe...
the direction they wish to travel
is subject to instant yaw...
and with so many magnificent legs
can, thus, outrun the best...
and so it is, I stand afar...
to observe, quite dispossessed.
Spiders are quite resourceful, though
as any arachnids go...
their craft is instinctively brilliant,
for no meal will they forgo...
they spin a web of finest silk
and lay their trap to hunt...
then withdraw into the wings,
a most amazing stunt!
They watch what ever wanders near
into their sticky webs...
then sit and wait most patiently
while victim's struggle ebbs...
and then, they will enjoy their feast,
delectable and fine...
until another bug appears
upon which they will dine.
Yes, they are most resourceful ones,
these creepy little pests...
one of Nature's finest guides,
Her own, most welcomed, guests.
I'm not so fond of spiders,
But can surely not deny...
that they are great survivalists,
a fact none can defy.
