Rappin Roo Meets the Spider

A wretched day it really was
The sun was shining so very hard,
And the rain was pretending to fall.
Young Rappin Roo was sitting
And grumbling on her large red ball.
“Oh, this so boring” she said,
“I think I’ll really go to bed,
My books are all read
My toys are all played,
I really don’t want to sleep.
My eyes open, I shall keep.”

She looked at the sky,
She even swatted a fly,
She sang a tuneless song,
that didn’t take too long,
When something caught her eye.
A spider, a funny spider,
he was looking at her,
Should she hide-
or step aside?

Ah, this was scary,
She’d better be wary,
Her mum says don’t talk to strangers
specially creepy crawly web spinners!
Then her friendly smile, she smiled.
The spider just glared,
quietly spinning his web.

Said Rappin Roo, “That’s mighty rude of you
You should really smile, when you are smiled to”
The spider just angrily stared,
Rappin Roo then quickly said
“Say something Mr. Spider
I got nothing to do,
I could talk to you?”
“Silly child,” rudely said a voice
“You humans, I just can’t trust
For whenever you see my pretty web,
completely destroy it you just must.”

Screamed youg Roo,
“Hey I’ve never spoken to a spider,
it’s so very and absolutely nice of you,
Now I’ll have something do to!”

The spider came slowly,
So wary and sulkily
“All right, I have said hello,
But, I got a lot of work you know.
Spinning a fine web is a mighty task,
at which I’m very fast
Last week I have actually won
the web spinning cup!.
Oh! I can’t sit and gabble,
nor lazily all day dabble
I got work, I can’t talk”

“Oh, darn “sighed Rappin roo
I’d like to help you.”
The spider then snapped,
Saying ever so cruelly,
“Stuff and nonsense,
Near my pretty web
how can I ever let you?
Yes , you’ll break it all
Imagine it will all fall
with one touch of your huge hands
I will have no web to crawl about at all.
I can spin me a parachute
On which I can forever hang,
And, it catches me all my food
Like some stupid fly.
My lunch, dinner
and breakfast it can always bring
Isn’t that such a wonderful thing”

So, he asked Rappin Roo,
“How can I let a clumsy thing like you,
Even come close to my beautiful web?”
Rappin Roo said sharp and fast
“Oh dear spider that’s very mean
A little scared of you I may seem.
But, I can crush you with a broomstick
or even with that huge red , shiny brick
You don’t really frighten me”
Sticking out her tongue-she said “Goodbye!”.
“Cheerio !“ cried the spider
“I hope we never meet again “


Angry Rappin Roo burst the big red ball
She was screamed down the hall,
The spidey web she’ll break!
His things she’ll take,
She’ll show what she could do,
So angry was little Rappin Roo.

Setting out with broomstick, she gave spidey a chase
She’d show this lousy arachnid his rotten place!
The fearless spider called his cousin the Tarantula,
From South America, came he!
And Rappin Roo, well what a scare had she!

So off to bed she went – and closed her eyes,
Dreaming of scary spiders, and measly flies.
The Spider of course kept on spinning,
All night he kept working.
No time for boring humans, or a screaming pest,
He had to spin a web that was the best!
