The Spider


The spider

This spider was born in a house,
Did not see a leopard or a mouse.

It scurried around the house of Chiles,
All it saw was many many tiles.

The tiles were coloured yellow blue green and red,
But beyond the blue he would not step.

He wondered what the colour would do,
It may catch him, swallow him or colour him too.

One day Mr. Chiles was stuck in a garden pit,
He screamed for help, for his foot was slit.

The spider heard him yell and squeal,
He was hurt on his head and heel.

The spider could run on his eight feet,
Faster than any man could reach.

But the tiles of yellow green and red,
Left him shivering, he dares not tread.

The spider climbed up the wall and spit his thread,
Lost his balance and fell on the red.

The red one was a rough tile,
Some standing some sleeping lines.

When he went over the green,
It was sticky from the last evening meal.

And yellow just looked too bright,
And glowed in the dark scared him with light.

Different tiles felt different on his feet,
Not exactly scary, only a different seat.

So, the spider hopped skipped and jumped across,
Over the yellow red and the green like moss.

He finally reached Mr. Chile,
Spat his web on the slit line.
His wound healed in a few hours,
He could now walk around near and far.

Thus, the spider saved Mr. Chile,
Or Mr. Chile opened him up to the coloured tiles.
