The spider is a very short person with very long legs
That are fine for advancing
On a fly in a sticky web
But utterly useless for dancing.
You can see two bees up
Over the sunny clover,
Body-popping,
But you can’t imagine two spiders having a knees-up
On their springy floor.
It’s those complicated legs that have stopped the bopping
For ever more.
They’d be so entangled
They’d get mangled,
So interrelated
They’d get amputated.
So I advise spiders:
Leave your dancing pumps on the shelf
And keep your legs to yourself.
