It is said that the itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout but I never understood why he kept going up the drain until today. I was getting ready to come meet you, doing my hair and making sure I would look my best when I looked out of the window and saw him trying for the 14th time. He waved two of his legs at me. I know, it seems far fetched, and you probably won’t believe me, but I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it myself. So I went outside. I asked him what he wanted, and to my surprise, no he didn’t talk to me, that would be ridiculous, spiders can’t talk, but he did wave at me again. So I got my ladder and propped it up against the house to look at the top of the water spout. Well I didn’t see anything but it did start to rain and true to the song the spider was washed down the drain, and well.......he died. This time so he won’t be doing it again. The problem is you see my shoes and pants got all muddy and I will have to change and take a shower, unfortunately this means I won’t make it on time, can we do a rain check? Side-note: perhaps if the spider had checked the weather he would have known there was rain coming the last 13 times and he wouldn’t have been rained on. Just saying.
