The moon was a sliver in the night sky 

And the starlight twinkled in my eyes

The ice cream tasted sweet on my lips 

As I watched the sway of your hips

Suddenly I felt a sharp bite on my neck

I thought to myself ow! What the heck! 

I threw the little spider to the ground 

Then I heard you make a startled sound

Turning to look back towards the town 

I saw a monster, large, hairy and brown

The spider I saw just couldn’t be real

It was so huge I’d be a bite, not a meal 

I spun around, took you by the hand 

This date had started out pretty grand

Now I wasn’t sure what anyone will do

But I know I want to stay close to you

Nightmare excluded it was a great date 

But we better run and not tempt fate

We hid at my house, both him and me 

Until the spiders were killed by the army

We finally could leave, step into the sun

And have a second date and some fun! 

The spider’s web stuck to my skin,

But the fear, I would not let in.

A hundred eyes stared at me,

I tried to run but could not flee.

The web held me, stuck in place,

As the spider crawled towards my face.

I’ve never seen a spider so large,

Nearly as big as a fishing barge.

It’s venomous fangs, three feet long,

Eight hairy legs muscled and strong.

Then a noise caused me to shake,

My alarm buzzed, and I did wake.

It was a dream, I’m safe in my bed,

Halloween thoughts drifting through my head.
