[Stumped]

The fear of spiders is a phobia shared by many. This, like my previous posting, is a simple exploration (or maybe exploitation) of same.

+The Arachnid

Concealed inside a blanket of spun silk,
Or awaiting on it's luncheon with a yen,
No reputation rivals that of the arachnid,
This most feared of creatures present among men.

Crawling in it's stiff eight legged fashion,
Or despatching of it's prey thus turned to soup,
The abominable ways of the arachnid,
Are inclined to make the strongest stomach swoop.

Clinging to it's web in isolation,
Or ballooning through the air at natures whim,
The inviolable role of the arachnid,
Is frowned upon as something awful grim.

Considering then the creature's ill repute,
Does it really merit such an awful press?
The unpalatable traits of the arachnid,
On reflection glean a most resounding - yes.
