I am a tiny spider
Who fell into your sink,
But every time I try to climb
I slip when near the brink.

I am that horrid spider
In your bath as white as snow
But how the heck I got in here
You'll never never know.

I am the speedy spider
And think it such a hoot
To make you jump and shriek
As round your floor I scoot.

I am a jungle spider
And feed on birds and mice.
I have no teeth so suck 'em dry
Which isn't very nice.

I am your nightmare spider
That comes to you in dreams
So...

Far beyond the thunder clouds
We'll lie on sunny wooded slopes
And laugh and love as in our youth
Without the pain and broken hopes.

I have books on china,
and books on glass,
books on silver
and books on brass.

I have books on tables
and many on chairs,
books on carpets
and several on stairs.
 
I've seen books on barrels
and books on bars,
but I don't believe
there are books on Mars.

Sunset after rain.
Slate clouds in a nitric oxide sky.
Tyres swish on wet streets
and girls laugh, going home from work.
'Twill be alright.
