Slinky spider

Hairy  legs

Creeping slowly

Across bedroom

Pausing often

Sneaky meander

Over carpet

Eyes swiveling 

Sees me

I lunge

Quick dart

Chase on

Throw shoe

Big miss

Spider hides

Under bed

I wait

He waits

Who dares

Next move

I wait

He waits

Peek under

See him

Beyond reach

Spider waits

I wait

Formulate plan

Get broom

Slide broom

Under bed

Force spider

To move

Other side

Plan executed

Spider runs

Across floor

I race

Around bed

Fly swatter

In hand

Spider faster

Escapes easily

Under door

Open door

Spider disappeared

I wait

spider waits

No sign

I wait

spider waits

I surrender

Spider won
