I have an insane fear of spiders. I have no idea why they creep me out so much. The multiple legs, weird eyes, venomous bites... no matter, living in Colorado has allowed me to avoid my fear, but my future home in Myanmar may bring not just spiders, but crazy, creepy, crawly, macro-arachnids... So I've decided to embrace my fear and share one of my favorite poems. I cannot tell you how many times I've read this poem to kids. In honor of spiders everywhere I dedicate this post to you.
The Daddy Longlegs by Douglas Florian
O Daddy
Daddy O
How'd you get
Those legs to grow
So very long
And lean in size?
From spiderobic
Exercise?
Did you drink milk?
Or chew on cheese?
And by the way,
Where are your knees?
O Daddy
Daddy O
How'd you get
Those legs to grow?
