I Walked into a Spider Thread
I walked into a spider thread
Floating from a spider’s web
Woven far above my head.
I couldn’t see it up so high
Against the background of the sky.
I’m glad I’m me and not a fly.
Floating from a spider’s web
Woven far above my head.
I couldn’t see it up so high
Against the background of the sky.
I’m glad I’m me and not a fly.
