A Little Spider

Published in an issue of Jellybean Junction.

A little spider went outside one day
Saw a butterfly and asked her to play
She said, "No way--
Just go away!"

The little spider travelled just a little more
Saw a ladybug on a kitchen door
Asked, "Do you want to play?"
She said, "No way!"

The little spider's sad and doesn't know what to do
Wished he had--a friend or two
Who'd come out to play
Without saying, "Go away!"

The spider walked along 'til he saw a fly
Took one look and began to cry
Didn't ask him to play--
The spider just went away.

"Hey little spider where you going from here?
Can I come too, we'll go over there
And we'll play
Have fun the whole day!"

The little spider couldn't believe his ears
The fly was willing to forget his fears
And go out and play--
With the spider everyday.
