The Spider

A spider crept into my room last night, I didn’t know what to do!
Its hairy body encased my carpet. I needed to find a shoe.
Searching frantically around my room. This spider’s not my cup of tea.
It’s the scariest of all creepy crawlies, “Please leave spider,” I plea.
Suddenly I see its fangs, they’re as long as daggers!
I need to get out of this room, it really is all that matters!
Jumping across my bed, I spring across the room!
I must get past the spider, I’m too young to meet my doom.
Finally, safely in the hall, better late than never!
That spider was a horrid sight, what a risky endeavour.
