Spider Senses a Tingling

Spider Senses a Tingling
In a fairly large Magellanic Cloud
more light years away than
I have fingers and toes to calculate
who am I not to postulate
a constellation, emulate
my favorite arachnid!
Why not! a Spider Constellation
embedded within a Nebula,
named Tarantula
in the 1750’s?
How do You suppose Explorers
came to the decision of naming?
Was it careless fright upon
a spider’s delight to see
the human fright
in a panic light, tagged
constellation the biggest
bad ass eight-legged
might?
No one will truly ever know
How come Constellations
become nomenclature’d

was thinking about this spill for several days and it all come about
when a Huntsman Spider made his./ her presence known within my domicile.
Of course, i didn't chase away or try to capture or remove. Summer is upon me and that means a lot of flyers and other insects.
Loved that You got the humor in this fun to pen spill.
