I like many do not have a good
Relationship with spiders
Or indeed any kind of creepy crawlies
I pretend to be brave when other adults
Are around
On my own
I let out a howling scream
Which I am sure frightens the spider
As well as defening my neighbours
Picking the spider out of the bath
I drown him or her in the toilet
Never giving thought to their family
Or animal lovers thinking I am a murderer
I simply panic
When we were young my brothers bedroom
Was dusty
He told our niece that Fred the spider lived
Underneath his bed
She didn’t try to confiscate his childhood
Board games
For fear of encountering Fred
She tried to send me underneath this bed
Without any success.
