Eight legged roommates

I don’t want to live with you, please get out!

When it’s sunshine
In my apartment sometime
To crawl out of the shadows
Is my roommate's bravado

I hate to admit
But it’s the truth that I commit
I am a cruel hostess
The cruellest you have ever seen

But they don’t fear
Even if their lives are so dear
They come into my apartment
To live with me so near!

It erks me to say nay
And to my utter dismay
With all your multiple eyes and limbs
You don’t hear a word I say

I will not be polite I swear
All your eight limbs I will try to tear
When I catch you in your lair
Will give a good lifetime scare

Here comes my broomstick
It will off the floor your blood lick
But I guess you have no blood
So it will just your dead bodies pick

Go run run run afar —
I will even keep the doors ajar
Once I catch you with my weapon
I will give you a nasty scar

Huff puff huff….
Let me a breath catch
I call for a rematch
You and your families I will dispatch
From my house once and for all

Huff puff huff…
Oh but I am tired and how
You have left your dwelling like a scared cow
I will destroy your web for now
And I promise one day, in front of me
I will make you bow!
