I saved a spider in a paper cup.

It spidered away with the cup

I caught a spider with a soup pot

It spidered away with the pot

I cornered a spider in the living room

It spun a web over the sofa and bed settee

Sent me spidering after snacks

Cats and dogs

Rough-spoken kids

That walk and talk like me.

thanks bee, prompted by one of my mates showing a photo of a spider he'd caught in a glass.

Liked the picture of spidering about when as so often no definite aim, but getting on with things, and those who accept the company! Rhiannon

Stop spidering about. Hard to pin down, spiders.

Got bitten on the lip, a couple or so years ago now, by a spider, slipped unnoticed into my glass of red wine, during a Sunday evening dinner.  Ah...but there's many a slip....smiley

Enjoyed your pome...nonetheless.

Hi CM

I like the way you take the subject of spiders to a new level. I had three who invaded my living room a few weeks ago, but their remains (from natural processes) remain there waiting for me to get out my vacuum before the next time I have visitors. They are quite interesting even in death.
