Little pretty Primrose Pam
Lived her life within a pan
That stood so idle on the shelf
So Primrose kept it for herself
Noisy hairy big-eyed Schneider
Was the households widow spider
Who couldn’t understand just why
Primrose flew when he came by
So noisy Schneider met with Buck
The nippy nasty farmyard duck
When asked by Schneider, answered back
The only word he knew – quack, quack
So Schneider tried to talk with Cass
The silly stubborn farmyard ass
Who blankly refused to say a thing
When big-eyed Schneider spoke to him
So Schneider asked old slimy Jim
Why Primrose kept avoiding him
But slimy Jim just slid away
Suggesting Schneider make a play
Schneider yelled in his noisy tone
If Primrose Pam is still at home
She’ll fly when she catches sight of me
I cannot fly like a bumblebee
Then take a lesson or two he said
On how to fly in gallant spread
Just a lesson or two will do you grand
And soon you’ll have your Primrose Pam
A spider can’t fly, Schneider replied
Oh really, said Jim, I wonder why
And slid through the grass leaving him
Bewildered and puzzled and very grim
Schneider the spider’s big eyes got wider
Wondering how he would get close beside her
And he thought and he thought and he thought so hard
As he wandered around the green farmyard
Then suddenly an idea sprang to mind
I”ll ask Primrose to come and be mine
Yes, said Schneider, we’ll marry of course
I’ll ask the view of Henry the horse
Neigh, said Henry, that wouldn’t be wise
You marry Primrose and you will quite surely die
For pretty Primrose is a great Queen bee
You’ll tarry a while then she’ll have you for tea
The life of a queen is loyal and grand
You’ll do yourself harm to take her sweet hand
Though you are a widow and deadly to all
To Primrose’s army, you’d in the end fall
Schneider went home and never went out
Stayed in all day, not leaving his house
He knew that he’d never have pretty Primrose
And this is where my story must close

You could easily be a Mother Goose in disguise. I agree with YTJulie in that I hate spiders, but Schneider the Spider . . . How lonely he must be! All in all, this was great fun and left me laughing and smiling. Poets like you make me re-evaluate my own writing, to think and write beyond my imagination.

Lol, not silly at all...Entertaining, enjoyable is more like it...I was thinking, somebody is going to get eaten here

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I don't think i could allow anyone of them to be eaten. I'd go on a guilt trip!

That's what I thought, lol; with fantasy we can have all creatures live and play together, but most of us know the the sad truth
