Spider, spider, I am bored, Spider, spider, Here’s my sword, Spider, spider, Cut your thread, Woe, Anasi, Now you’re dead.

(in his best Yosemite Sam voice:)

Ah hates spiders…

Robin Hood is a better rhymer than the spider.

I think Anansi gave up on finishing in rhyming verse and settled for sheer threat.

Well, what can I say to all this except….

Look, he’s crawling up my wall Black and hairy, very small Now he’s up above my head Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider Boris the spider

Now he’s dropped on to the floor Heading for the bedroom door Maybe he’s as scared as me Where’s he gone now, I can’t see

Boris the spider Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

There he is wrapped in a ball Doesn’t seem to move at all Perhaps he’s dead, I’ll just make sure Pick this book up off the floor

Boris the spider Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He’s come to a sticky end Don’t think he will ever mend Never more will he crawl ‘round He’s embedded in the ground

Boris the spider Boris the spider

It’s a well known fact that spiders are famous for two things:

-Being brutally honest with their intentions to do harm -Being terribly poor sports when playing Yahtzee.

Spider Spider burning bright In the webbing on the tree, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

With apologies to William Blake. :-)

You know you’re a good archer when you can shoot a spider with an arrow.
