Little Miss Muffet

there was a spider
infestation at work.
and many a night
would go by when

one or two would
repel from the ceiling
and come visit her
when she least expected it.

"ack!" she'd shout.
"did you see that one?" she'd exclaim.
"i mean it was *so* big,
it was wearing shoes!"

"i don't like it when
visiting spiders are that big,"
she added,
"unless, of course, they're
inviting me to the newest dance
club to spin a web or two."

"'cuz, i could see how you'd
need shoes for that."
