I hope you don’t mind spiders,
I say to those who come to rent my home
And if their eyes flicker I add
They don’t come down often
Plenty to eat up there.
Looking up a the magnificent multistory
Thread of silk between my ceiling joists
“She has eaten today’, I assure one
“You’ll be safe for 48 hours’ I add
becoming an unexpected expert on arachnids
