THE SHOWER

THE SHOWER:

As the evenings are getting darker,

I decided to shower early.

Then put my pyjamas on,

In readiness to watch TV.

 

After washing away the cares of the day.

Stepped out onto the bathroom floor.

What happened next I suppose seemed hilarious,

But will ensure it won't happen anymore.

 

With body and face still dripping wet.

I reached for the towel on the rail.

Then out of the corner of my eye I saw IT,

And gave out one tremendous yell.

 

Slowly crawling up my leg,

Was a spider with beady eyes.

I'm not partial to spiders,

And am particular who touches my thighs.

I grabbed my can of hairspray,

Sprayed the spider......oh dear.

Got the towel wrapped about my body,

Spiders ! another one of my fears.

The spider ran to the corner of the room,

I noticed him on the floor.

With towel wrapped about my person.

I headed for the bathroom door.

Well I did eventually watch TV.

Still shaking from my ordeal.

But I did have to laugh at myself,

As I ate my evening meal.
