It was such a big word the Doctors used

To diagnose my fear



But the fear inside of me

Was much bigger than the word



"I am terrified of spiders!"



I know spiders are on this earth for a reason

And I know they serve a purpose



But they are small, and they crawl

The very thought makes my body shudder



Like magic they spin a web to catch their prey

I must admit this is truly amazing



But one morning while leaving for work

A giant spider web caught me right in the face



I screamed so loud, I jumped up and down

Flailing my arms back and forth

I messed up my hair but I didn't care

I simply couldn't let a spider get on me



The neighbors called "911"

Thinking there was truly an emergency



The ambulance arrived in my drive

The EMT's found me in my frantic state



They checked my vital signs

And were shocked to learn

I was right at the point of death
