A Pome a Day for a Year

This guys legs were scrambling so fast,
I thought it was the Flash in arachnid form,
and when I say news,
I mean a newspaper, because
a) I do not watch News Bulletins and
b) he was not on a surfboard like
squirrels and dogs who have
been featured players before.

I watched him circle and batter
those little typefaces,
and you could swear that
he was jumping between sentences
and trying to make sense of
the English language
(as do we all!) and work out
what he should be knowledgeable
about for today’s correspondence.

Do not fret, little spider, for
you have no say in governmental
legislation, and even if the price
of eggs did affect you,
I would care tenderly and make sure
you were provided for,
because spiders are super cool
and I love them like bees and ducks.
