.4. Footwear For Spiders Poem by David Threadgold

A spider went shopping
To buy some new shoes
He tried on so many
But just couldn’t choose

He first tried four pairs
Each laced polished black
Then eight yellow flip flops
But all were to slack

Having searched every rack
He found some brown boots
Which he tried on at once
But they looked like tree roots

So he settled for clogs
Making eight feet look wider
Because no one sells shoes
For a smart trendy spider
