ARACHNID DAY
[by the Bungee Jumpin’ Cows]
Topic: Natural history of spiders
Summary: A spider serenades their “captive” audience.
I think I hear the doorbell
Guess it’s time to eat
My web it is a-jigglin' from some insects’ tiny feet
I’ll wrap you up in silk then I’ll eat your insides raw
You’ll be my insect smoothie, suck your guts like with a straw
Chorus:
It’s killer tag and I’m it, don’t you want to play (NO WAY!)
I just want to wish you an arachnid day
Webs can be triangular, funnel-shaped or round
Some have sticky trip lines. some dig down in the ground
Others they don’t have webs they chase down their prey
I’m so glad to meet you but I guess it’s not your day
When it’s time to mate, its a dangerous dating game
Some spiders eat each other things that wiggle are all the same
The females have a motto that means I risk my life
A husband’s place is inside the stomach of his wife
