The barking spiders all march in <br />just past dinner time. <br />Some big, some small, they come to call <br />floating on the wind behind. <br /> <br />Each is clearly noticed, <br />although they can't be seen. <br />You're positive they're there, though, <br />'cause your nose is very keen. <br /> <br />You know you can't outrun them <br />and a net won't get them caught. <br />Your friends laugh 'cause they're funny, <br />but your mom yells 'cause they're not. <br /> <br />So open all the windows! <br />Crack the vents, real fast! <br />'Cause these aren't normal spiders - <br />BARKING spiders are just gas.<br /><br />C.J.
