Promethean

Spiderland

Promethean


"What a marvellous dream", 
I heard a bird scream 
footprints filled with hot lead 
dead babies well fed 

Come and follow me now 
and I will show you how 
to find the door and enter spiderland 

There behind the trees we saw the spiders 
but to our surprise they were much bigger than we had thought 
Long hairy legs and eyes so mean 
maybe we should run, was my last thought 

What a horrible dream 
I heard myself scream 
fallen out of the bed 
the cat was to be fed 

But one thing had been left undone 
the spider's door had been left open
