Things that make your skin crawl

Spiders, snakes and..cakes

I don't like spiders and snakes,
scared to death of what the bakery bakes.
One day long ago, on a trip down the creek
as my canoe slid noiselessly under a branch,
a moccasin dropped in as I inspected a lovely
web. Using the paddle to fend off the slithering
bastard, my stern slipped directly into the web.
My heart in my throat, on acid it floated.
My fear was so real, I started and reeled right
into the eye of the spider. He set on my neck.
I started to think, best to be in the drink but
keeping my wits, no idea how, I got the blade
under the snake and lifted him over the gunnel.
Back to the eight legged freak.
Not knowing the type, I slapped at the creep,
he landed on water,like Jesus he walked,
though on four times the feet,to the tree
where he scuttled back out to his web.
Now I stopped at the bakery to pick up a cake
bought some half moons and eclairs
and a cream filled chocolate dream.
Back on the street, I tore off the wrapper
and sunk my teeth into the dream. I felt
something move in my mouth and seeing the cream
wiggle...I screamed!
