Spider verses Man
by Dennis Bazzell You can tear down a spider's web Thinking your situation has improved. But the spider has infinite patience As another day will prove In the human range of emotions The pendulum swings between extremes The spider seems to be nothing more Than an eight legged machine You are a more complex creation, Than the spider who never quits. You are hampered by feelings, That drains your eagerness. You could kill the spider, That's the reasonable thing to do. The spider doesn't reason He just starts the job anew. The spider does not seem to know His persistence could get him killed. He thinks it's just a battle Of who has the strongest will. The question is not What will the spider do? But will you use your cerebral cortex Just a time or two The flexibility of a spider With a brain that can adjust Keeps the little fellow From making such a mess As consistent as a spider That's what I want to be I will keep that in mind As I write his eulogy.
