The Harmless Bathroom Spider

The harmless bathroom spider
Lives in a crack in the wall

The harmless bathroom spider 
Sees nothing at all

The harmless bathroom spider 
Speaks but does not make a sound. 

Doesn’t move an inch, or cover any ground.
Against the wall he can be found
Spindly legs, so delicate they break:
A hammer to glass
A soul to shake. 
Insnaring invisible bathroom flies
What does he like to eat?

Looks quite cute sometimes
Yet you always keep one eye open -
Just in case he flies

Then one day when you’re in the shower
Soapy suds and rushing heat
Your time is nearly up
Heart skipping a beat
The bathroom spider sees it
And jumps right on your back 

Now you sit upon the wall 
as everything fades to black
