Scared Of Spiders

 

 

Scared of Spiders

 

He cracks walnuts with his eyelids

Bends girders with his ears

He’s the man who can fight twenty men

After drinking twenty beers

He eats racehorses whole

Plus their saddles, and their riders

He ain’t afeared of any man

But still he’s scared of spiders

 

 

He’s got a tattoo of a dragon

To show how tough he is

He’s got muscles in places I ain’t got places

He’s got muscles in his piss

He’s feared by his inner circle

He brings dread and alarm to outsiders

He ain’t afeared of any man

But still he’s scared of spiders

 

Ghosts and spectres can’t get to him

He’s no fear of the unknown

Bring on a hoard of zombies

He’ll take ‘em on his own

King Kong and Godzilla

Would fall foul to his martial-arts skills

But show him a little spider

And he’ll go running for the hills

Thanks Vautaw. Personally I have no fear of spiders. But I can understand those who do, there is something creepy about them.

Congratulations on making Poem of the Week! Spiders are curious creatures that make cowards out of most of us!

Thanks Dorothy. Glad you found it funny
Thanks Keith. I have compiled enough material for two booklets (which I have printed out on my own printer, in a very amateur way). But I wouldn't know how to publish them professionally.
I'm enjoying reading your book by the way.

Cheers Kevin

I love waking up to a giggle - although this one has provoked a belly laugh - it is brilliant.

Thank you

Dorothy.

PS.

I hope poor Fred doesn't get jealous

Thanks again Jason and Don.
I think I'd go running for the hills from some of them Australian spiders, but the ones we get are quite harmless.

He wouldn't want to come to Australia
We specialize in spiders down here
For me? I just laugh at their antics
I'm not scared,(I just drink up my beer) ?
