I'm just a tiny creature Far smaller than a mouse I know that I'm not welcome But I do live in your house
You never have to feed me Or take me to the vet I'm gentle and I'm friendly And yet I'm no-one's pet
I know that some folk hate me I give some folk a fright But I'm really inoffensive and I never ever bite
I have some naughty cousins Who come from far away I know they bite in anger and hurt folk every day
But I am no tarantula or widow dressed in black I'm just a common spider With my eyes upon my back
So please do not be frightened I'm harmless as can be I will never hurt you So please, do not harm me
Poem by Alice Drury
