The spider said, “Oh Silverfish. It’s cold down on the floor,
No doubt your hands and feet are damp, your rheumatism sore.
If you’ll come up onto my web, and share my net with me,
You’ll find it dry with lots to do and share the scenery.”
The Silverfish, though slow and flat, was not your common bug.
She’d twice been featured on “Nature Show” since marrying a slug.
“You Tegenaria Domestica! I’ll not by you be caught,
Go back to your slimy web page, you triple W.”
