What is the best spider catcher
A glass with stiff card below
I've a spider catcher with a sliding panel
And a hoover works well, but few know
We can never catch all the spiders
That is the big surprise
I'm sure that ten more are born
Each time one of them dies
A spider's web, one spider?
There must be a tribe
On the bathroom ceiling
The car mirror, and many more besides
When you see those trailing strands
Littering your house
You can guiltlessly dispose of them
In the bin with the abondoned wasps' nest
And the short-lived dead mouse
The web which is worth keeping
Is the one which looks like crochet
Better than your woven blanket
It catches the spider's dish of the day
You have to take sides
The spider or the fly
It's a bit like watching tennis
One will win, the other die
I dont mind at all
So long as the spider's very small
It's got such a pretty house of doom
Better than racing round the room.
I could waste half the day
Spraying, and reading cans of spray
Smart spiders wait 'til I'm in bed
Then, unseen, weave their pretty webs instead.
