Spider R.I.P.

A spider died in my shower recess,

It was quite tiny, there was no mess.

I simply sent it down the drain

And I wondered then, did it feel pain?

 

What was the cause of this sad demise?

Coud it be that it had a great surprise

That was too much for its tender heart

And made it with this life to part?

 

I'll never know, but I wonder whether

It had seen me in the alltogether

As I stood under the shower that night.

Had the poor spider died of fright?

 

Probably.
