Itsy Bitsy Spider

Itsy Bitsy Spider can make the girls all shout
With blood curdling screams they all run about

Spider

Itsy Bitsy Spider all decked out in white
They could hardly see him yet thought that he would bite

Itsy Bitsy Spider with the yellow hue
Never got the chance to even whisper boo

yellow spider on spearmint flowers

Out came Daddy Long Legs to where he had a view
Where his missing legs when he didn’t have a clue

Daddy Long Legs

Big Daddy Long Legs isn’t feeling very blue
Because the awkward fellow knows where to get his dew

    When dealing with spiders, what a poet you are.
    Your rhyming abilities will take you quite far.
    Your pictures are great, the colors unique,
    Just look what you find when outdoors you peek.

    I love the white one.
    It’s nuthin’ I know
    About spiders ‘cept
    On eight legs they go.

    (and maybe a teensy bit more)

    i have a picture of a mushroom that i have never seen anything like before. it is red and is sort of coral like, but not like the thin standing coral, but actually coral with holes. was wondering if you have ever seen this?

  5. Ratty Says:

    I like the yellow and the white spiders. Are they a related type or something close?

  6. elephant's eye Says:

    Yellow and white are crab/flower spiders. Ours also come in pink and Elton Johns.

  7. Mary Delle Says:

    Poetry and spiders. You’ve made it into a very pleasant combination.

  8. Helen at Toronto Gardens Says:

    Funny! And those up-close-and-personal shots are fascinating. Love the daddy with the dew.

    You have the eagle eyes to spot the white spider but you missed the daddy long legs that thought it got a crystal for sale.

    You’re quite the poet, and now we all know it! I just love spiders! (Especially the crab spiders, they are so sleek and pretty.)
