.5. Stow-A-Way Poem by David Threadgold

A box of bananas
Import from the sun
Found carrying livestock
In number just one

The customs officials
Who opened the crate
Are suffering shock
In one hell of a state

Removing the crate lid
The opening got wider
Releasing the livestock
One large hairy spider

It shot from the crate
Where it gave one a bite
Another one fainted
Because of the fright

The third one fell down
On his backside he sat
On top of the spider
That ended up flat
