Itsy Bitsy

 

Welcome home!

 

 

 

I've been waiting forever it seems

 

 

 

Right here so you could see me when you unlocked the door

 

 

 

 

The beetles and flies at the sight of him fled,

And even the birds were afraid.

He had two great nippers, and eight wicked eyes;

How he ran and what leaps he made !

 

 

I and all who lived in the garden knew

That terrible spider's lair,

And told their little ones, under their breath:

'O never, O never go there!'
