*** Spider’s Moving Day ? ***

Photobucket



The Spider and the Shed

Out at yard sales on a rainy day
In the entrance to a shed
We watched as a spider dandled down
Looking to be fed

We stood outside in the pouring rain
Just me and Emma Peel
She looked my way and said to me
I’m not a spider meal

It was raining hard, we were getting wet
There were treasures inside for sure
I would check for bargains once inside
But only after her

Then suddenly without a word
We stood and did not care
As the woman that had just walked out
Had the spider in her hair

The way was clear, it was alright now
We could find our deals inside
We could have told the lady who cleared the way
But to hell with foolish pride

She knew that she was on her own
She knew the price to pay
It’s everybody for themselves
For this was garage sale day

On a garage sale jaunt last year in Merrickville,
my husband and daughter had witnessed the spider’s moving day and this is what inspired my hubby to write the poem.
I guess this one garage sale we will never forget…hehe!
Merrickville ; a purrfect place for inspiration.

Love your banner too. That poor lady. Imagine how she felt when she found that spider in her hair. I understand how you felt though. At a garage sale it is every man for himself.
Thanks for stopping by my place.

Hello dear witch Annabelle !

I really love your husband poem ! It' s so recognizable and made me laugh !
Your collage on top of your blog is also completely my kind of stuff : it's nice to see, well done and has the perfect halloweeningredients in it.

I'm going to bookmark your blog cause I think you're one of my kind :)

thanks for passing by at web.me.com/pinkepinke and your comment.

The hands are not from wax but are the hands from my daughters ball jointed doll Bill.
I wish I had such doll too ( but they are expensive) , so I had the permission to use her doll in my halloweendecoration :)

greetings from belgium

How sweet! I love a man who writes poetry, and now the spider is forever immortalized!
Thank you for dropping by the Treehouse witch named annabelle, because it prompted me to come here and get lost in all your fascinating posts...I like the way you think, and I'm so glad you gave me the info of Good witch and the sequel because I am looking for good halloween movies and finding it hard to find any on TV!
I love Turner Classic Movies, but i seem to miss most of the scary ones somehow. LOVE Hitchcock, and Vincent Price, and oh! Bell Book & Candle-a remake! That ought to be interesting!
Thanks again and have a olvely Halloween!

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
