Gone And the cat howls The passing Like so many Spiders The spiders are Running my house Their webs are Everywhere. If I sleep too long They try to strap me To my bed And my cat Can't eat them all But I can squish them And clean up afterwards Except I just am too tired To do that this year So they have conquered my house Maybe they will Spin me a dress Gossamer and glitter With a few Baby spiders Thrown in as buttons but it doesn't matter Because I know There is something special Going on And I just can't wait to get to the party Before I fall asleep And this August Creeps away Can't catch it In a web It just slides through And September Falls on down to Meet me in my Dream.
