The Little Brown Spider

Little brown spider, I bumped into you today
I am so sorry. I didn't see you being so small.
Your web, I wiggled. Did I you scare?
I hope I didn't your web break.
I want your web strong so your next meal you catch.
But it's so fine, only a gnat or two could it catch.
But you being so small, a gnat or two would do.
A gnat or two, even enough for a day or two.


Little brown spider, I have a question for you.
Why did you build your web inside my shed?
The door is closed and no gnats it contains.
Are you so small because no food you have?
Could you outside your web have built
There, where abound the gnats?
Outside? Yes, there outside where abound the gnats.
The breeze strong may be, so must your web be.
Outside, where the gnats abound.
