WATCHING A SPIDER
DECISION
As I drink my second cup of coffee,
I gaze across my office floor,
and to my surprise an unidentified,
not cleared by security, foe,
a back spider taking a slow stroll.
I watch as it slowly moves along;
not knowing there is a shoe
that has the capacity to
end his life waiting on my foot.
Spiders don't think like we humans think.
I wonder, shall I carry out the death penalty,
or shall I give him a pardon?
A really tough decision but one
that has to be made. The gracious
call is"Set the spider free".
I take a sheet of paper and Mr. Spider
crawls aboard and I escort him out the
door and front gate.
The 6' clock new reports:
"Condemned Spider Set Free."
The News Media is always on top
of breaking stories. Bravo.!

Respect of one's way in life..... even down to the spiders themselves..... I always think of Charlotte's Web, when I try to salvage a spiders life, via removal ... That makes saving them a bit more palatable.... lol.... Terrifically penned allegory, Oral...

I have been in this scenario with spiders. Sad to say it did not make it.
It is ironic that you did a spider poem.
I'm currently playing with the idea for the last week.

Dear O,
I love this poem. It shows how dear is life to you even if it is of an insect. What will you do if you think of the life of a man. Just compare this attitude with that of a soldier. He can thoughtlessly kill a man.
