The Spider’s Web

 The everyday spider’s web

Gets such a bad rap

What we see as a nuisance

Is really a trap

We shoo away

Houseflies

And mosquitoes

We swat

Just as

The spider does

But he doesn’t

Leave a spot

So when you see

A spider web

In a corner

Or a tree

Remember that it took

The spider

A bit of time

As he worked on it patiently

He made sure he knitted

 His web together

Very carefully

With much room

‘Cause he knows whatever

Crosses its path

Will truly meet its doom

So when next you see

A spider web

Just admire it and let it be

For if you look real close

You’ll be the first to boast

It’s a work of art, a masterpiece

On display for all to see
