Don and Archy and I have at least one thing in common, a respect for spiders.

Spiders

I know you don’t like spiders. I think we all agree.
Nature’s wonders are all great, some things I need not see.
Like spiders in the bathroom! Some folks deny the fact,
But traces show they’ve been around, them and their trapeze act!

You may not see a spider, but proof remains behind.
Their spiderwebs displaying dust, in corners and aligned.
They are not there to prove to you your dusting could improve,
But only that some tiny bugs have been upon the move.

Spiders are exterminators, no need to give a call,
They show up anytime you’ve got those bugs there on your wall.
They’ll clean up all those crawly pests, but if they miss a guest,
They’ll lay some eggs down so their young will dine upon the rest.

Darksheare may happen by to explain how we got our inspiration for robots from the spiders.
