lullaby

I spy something begining with S.......On candystripe legs the spiderman comesSoftly through the shadow of the evening sunStealing past the windows of the blissfully deadLooking for the victim shivering in bedSearching out fear in the gathering gloom andSuddenly!A movement in the corner of the room!And there is nothing I can doAnd I realise with frightThat the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!Quietly he laughs and shaking his headCreeps closer nowCloser to the foot of the bedAnd softer than shadow and quicker than fliesHis arms are around me and his tongue in my eyesBe still be calm be quiet now my precious boyDon't struggle like that or I will only love you more But it's much too late to get away or turn on the lightThe spiderman is having you for dinner tonightAnd I feel like I'm being eatenBy a thousand million shivering furry holesAnd I know that in the morning I will wake upIn the shivering coldThe spiderman is always hungry...
