Lullaby
On candystripe legs spiderman comessoftly through the shadow of the evening sunstealing past the windows of the blissfully deadlooking for the victim shivering in bedsearching out fear in the gathering gloom andsuddenly! A movement in the corner of theroom! And there is nothing I can do when Irealise with freight that the spiderman is havingme for dinner tonight
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head creepscloser now closer to the foot of the bed andsofter than shadow and quicker than flies hisarms are all around me and his tongue in myeyes "be still be calm be quiet now my preciousboy don't struggle like that or I will only loveyou more for it's much too late to get away orturn on the light the spiderman is having youfor dinner tonight"
And I feel like I'm being eaten by a thousandmillion shivering furry holes and I know that inthe morning I will wake up in the shivering coldand the spiderman is always hungry...
