When I stepped into the shower, I had a visitor

There's A Spider in My Bathtub

by T B Botts

I went to take a shower
Just the other day,
but when I stepped into the tub,
I felt the need to pray.

A spider had climbed up the pipes
Sometime during the short night,
He entered through the drain hole
And gave me quite a fright.

What the heck is he doing here,
Who said that he could stay?
He started to build himself a web,
I wish he'd go away.

I don't like spiders,bees or bugs
Or flies or gnats or ants,
And when I see them in my house
They give me itchy pants.

You know that spiders weave their webs,
From pee inside their bodies.
I've seen their webs and must admit,
Some really don't look too shoddy.

However bugs of any kind
Don't belong inside my shower,
So if I look and find them there,
I'll turn the water on full power.

So it appears my spider friend
Has gone to spider hell,
Now I can continue with my shower
and won't worry about my smell.
