Itsy Bitsy... Poem by Nestor David Armas

Itsy bitsy spider

You aint,

Crawling

Towards me,

Down

Comes the rain,

You run away;

Out comes the sun

And you keep on coming,

I'm just watching you;

Think you've caught me

In your web,

But don't you know,

I'm just strumming

Your lines,

Coaxing you out,

Come to me,

I'm not afraid;

You've got

Those piercing eyes,

You've scared or eaten

All the rest,

But I'm unlike them,

You intrigue me,

Take a bite;

You'll know

I'm immune,

I can leave

At any time,

But I'll sit by you,

Itsy bitsy spider

You aint...
