The Creepy Crawly Spider
People don’t like me ‘cause I’m crawly and creepy.
So needless to say, I’m quite sad and weepy.
It’s not my fault I was born kind of scuzzy.
I sure do wish I looked warm and fuzzy.
I know I’m not beautiful. I do look a fright.
There are things about me that just don’t look right.
Like I have too many legs, eight total in all.
I can walk on the ceiling and not even fall!
I’d love to be just a regular kid,
And not a hairy scary leggy arachnid.
I’d like a family. I’d love some friends too.
I’d like to be your friend. How about you?
Would you consider being friends with me?
I know we are different but you would see
We like the same games. I would always play fair.
We would set a good example by showing we care.
Other kids will see what good friends we make.
Maybe they’ll see someone different and decide to take
A chance on them, like you did with me
And they will be lucky too, just wait and see!
I sure hope that you will be my friend.
