We’re so much bigger than they!
How can we suck them up in the vacuum?
When they catch nasty bugs for their prey?
How can we be cruel of their eight little
legs?
They don’t do us any harm.
At worse, they would wriggle and tickle
Have you ever held one in your palm?
Have you ever seen a Tarantula?
Tiny animals with a body of hair
They don’t bother us if we don’t bother
them
We should look after them with our care.
Why do we pull off the legs of a daddy?
When all they do is fly?
She’s not going to sting or bite us~
So we’ve got to ask ourselves why?
Yet we stamp on them with horror
When all they do is good
And scream at them in terror
Do you really think we should?
We’re as tall as a mighty tower to them
Even the biggest to us are minute.
So why don’t you make friends’ with a
Spider
They really are quite cute.
When they invite themselves in from the cold,
Why don’t you give them a name?
Let them get on with their useful tasks
And never hurt a Spider again.
