| On Walking Through a Spider's Web | |

Guilt! Oh fabulous! Go right ahead! Six hours of toil, gone in a second. Ripped and ruined, every thread, For such a fool I never reckoned! Half a night, to what avail? Spin and fix, spin and fasten, You come reeling, full of ale! In solemn dark, the web assassin! Go on then, wipe it from your hair! All the fruit of my hard labour. Could I but such a giant ensnare, How I’d repay your ample favour! Are you blind, or simply daft, To walk thus through another’s dwelling? All my skill, my art, my craft, Towards the frosty ground propelling! Had it been but a basic web, A simple net between the palings, I might forgive your clumsy step, Have understood your human failings! But this was quite the most complex, Intricate, fancy, labyrinthine, Of all my spidery life projects, This one I’d say “I’m proud its mine”! My God, had I a wrecking ball! The stature and the chance to use it! That thing you call a house would fall! To rubble I would fast reduce it! But I must simply start anew, While you lie there in stupefaction, Mere man was never equal to, A spider, not in wit nor action! Oli (09/10/06)
