The Spider that ruled the hall


In a quiet house, all quivered with fear
For there was a horror dwelling near.
It shifted around from wall to wall;
It was the Spider that ruled the hall.

Eight legs scratched the wall in a hurry,
Propelling it past in a flurry.
Passersby would stop and start staring,
Didn't the Spider sit over there?”

All feared it greatly though none knew why,
All wished the Spider would leave or die,
Yet no one touched it – no one at all,
So it lived on and haunted the hall.

One day the Spider simply vanished,
But the minds of all remained blemished,
For still all tiptoe through the wide hall,
Fearing the Spider once on the wall.
