If there's such a thing as re-incarnation and were I to return as a lower form of life <br />I'd love to be a venomous spider and live where coruption is rife <br />I'd live in the Chambers of Parliament and I'd bite everybody I'd see <br />And I'd kill a few unworthy people before they would get to kill me. <br /> <br />If I were a venomous spider I'd live where reputations are destroyed <br />And in a dark corner in Parliament I would find a safe place to hide <br />I'd creep up behind an M.P. or a Minister and catch them completely unaware <br />And bite them as hard as I could bite whilst they sat relaxed on their chair. <br /> <br />If I were a venomous spider I would not live in the poor side of town <br />And I'd not bite the poor or their children when in search of my ill renown <br />No I'd live in the parlour of a tycoon in a dark nook I would hide away <br />And at my first chance I'd bite the home owner and for his crimes against the poor make him pay. <br /> <br />If I were a venomous spider I would lead a sinister life <br />I would live in the parlour of a tycoon and bite him and then bite his wife <br />And I'd live in the chambers of Parliament where the seed of corruption grow <br />And sink my deadly fangs in the buttocks of some so called honourable so and so.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-a-venomous-spider/
