What better place to nestle in <br />Than a unused worn out barn <br />Left alone to spin a web <br />She is tucked away from harm <br /> <br />No better home there is to find <br />Though her senses stay alert <br />Settled in old musky hay <br />And dusty ancient dirt <br /> <br />What better life until the end <br />Once eggs are laid and then <br />The babies on their own will go <br />Out in the world to spin <br /> <br />Their own webs and the cycle <br />Starts once again it’s true <br />Be careful when you enter barns <br />A Black Widow spider might get you!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-widow-barn-spider/
