The Speeder
by Maya L

There was a spider on my ceiling
Hiding where the paint was peeling
I cried, "Oh look, a speeder there!"
Cried Father back, "What the...where?"

I pointed up to where it lay
And Father clucked in his dismay
"Charlie eats those, did you know?"
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
"Oh, is that so..."
said i to Father in reply, as he came by
to covertly catch the little spy

"Be careful Dad."
"Yesyes I know."
"Easy...easy...oh no!...Oh dear."
"What"
"You squished it!"
"Nah, no fear."
"Ah, its dead." TT
"Pshno, its fine. Maybe just a bumped behind."

I glanced at him with a mean leer,
and he glared back with no fear.
"Now out the window our speeder goes."
"Its raining and its pouring though..."
"Well if its dead, it won't care."
"Dad...thats mean. You're no fair."

He didn't answer as he shook,
and out from the window his hand he took
And that was the end of our poor Spidey,
who died from being s**t at hiding.

Poet'sNotes
If you read my other spider poem, no this one isn't Jil. Jil looks...yellowy-seethrough, while this one was black.
LOL. "The black guys always die." ---movie stereotype...-cough-
Anyway, I saw it, went through the expulsion of it, and made it into a poem. =3
Even if I embellished it a little. =T
BUT basically, its true.
By the way.
Steal my s**t, and I will hunt you down, and you will DIE. Believe me. I have superiour stalking skills. Ask my friends.

Other work

I'll write you a love song
and send it off to sea
burning with all the others
that you will never read.


-extended verses-
My words were swallowed up
when you left alone
I tried in vain to follow
But you had already gone

Farewell my cherry tree
We have come at peace
in this dream of hope
and prosperity

I will not forget
do not think so
and when I burnt your love songs,
I hadn't let you go.
