Chill Pill

I sometimes  
During my repose  
Awaken with a cough  
And a tickle up my nose  
And wonder  
At what ails me  
Yet awaken later  
The next morn  
Not at the crack  
Of an early morning dawn!  
And feel fine  
And realise  
That it was probably  
No more  
Than a spider  
Crawling down my throat  
My sleeping open mouth  
Swallowing it
Webs, and all  
Retrospectively  
I think  
I would  
Rather be ill  
Than swallow  
This spider  
Chill pill  
Glad it's mostly a myth!  
eek!
