Mrs. Spider

On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for a victim shivering in bed

Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
and suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
and there is nothing I can do when I realise with freight
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closesr now closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are around me and his tongue in my eyes

Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight

And I feel like I'm being eaten by
a thousand million shivering furry holes
and I know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry
