What was that darted past my eye?
Ninja spider! Ninja spider!
Up from my chair I must needs fly!
What was that darted past my eye?
Pushed back my chair with startled cry
Nearly spilled my apple cider.
What was that darted past my eye?
Ninja spider! Ninja spider!
A simple, silly poem for your edification. One really must look up now and again to ensure one is not about to be pounced on.
Would you like to share any poems? Adventures with spiders? Adventures in pouncing, perhaps?

I gotta say, this Arahant guy has a heck of an imagination.

Imagination? No, just move very fast when something falls down past my face.

I guess I was never bothered by spiders. If I didn't like their looks, I just stomp on them. I ran into a jumping spider once though, so I had to get out my trusty can of Raid. But I am OK with them spinning webs and catching those other annoying bugs.

I'm not bothered by spiders. I'm bothered by things suddenly coming into my field of vision unexpectedly.

Yeah, listen Bub - he's got radioactive blood.
