ME AND THE SPIDERS SHARE A BATHTUB!(with thanks to Jamsbo Rockda))

Now I have confession to make to you dear reader
To my shame I have two baths a year - it had to said
Yes TWO a year - dirty or not - though how can I be ever that dirty!
I do give of an an aroma sweetest kind that whiffs to the most discerning of noses
I agree with you - TWO baths - a year - a bit much!

I let the water flow in to the bathtub - checking time to time the bath dont overflow
Now young inexperienced spiders have a tendency to be inspired to take up diving
In to me bathtub - not something I encourage at all!
Now - some young spiders I see floating in me bath - I rush to their rescue
Gently scoping them up - I breath over then to dry them out - get some air in
So they breath once more! I'm like that - me

Now the young spiders mum and dad - somewhat anxieties state of mind!
Looking on

When they see their little children are safe - wait till I have safe from the bathtub!
Safely drying on t the windowsill - and breathing! again - given a stiff talking to
Then mum and dad spider - wash me back - lovely that is! - OMMM
Then stand guard like lifesavers - just in case I my self get in to trouble as I wallow
And I fall a sleep in the bath !

I can't help myself laughing with these words :) I'm not a huge fan of arachnids, but I'll do my best nonetheless to get them out of harm's way in our home... how silly is that? :) Every bug or spider I find in my home, I usually suppress my creepy crawly sensation down my spine, and find a way to pick them up (without having a chance of touching me, of course ;) ) and go put them outside... I don't like them at all, put killing them seems a bit much to my sensibilities hehehe... this text here made me think of those feelings... As always, love your way of telling a story! I could well picture the scene here :) *hugs* xx

I am afraid, very afraid, I have arachnophobia, but this did make me smile.
