We set off My Grandchild and I
Off in the Car on an Interesting Ride
To drop off at a Holiday Job
Then I would go for a Swim and a Shopping Opp
Lunch in a cafe after a swim then wander
Around the Town Shops
Seeking out Things on a Whim
Well we had only Reached the End of the Track
When The Huntsman emerged
And placed Herself Smack
Centre Stage on the Windscreen
Like something from a Horror Movie
Or Nightmarish Dream
Being Concerned for the Health of the Spider
I pulled the Car over
And Tried to Persuade her
To leave the Car Body and Slink into the Trees
But under the Bonnet she did Scurry and Flee
So Onward we Drove
The Huntsman appearing in odd places
As we headed on Down the Road
We stopped at some Lights
For the Roadworks and Found
Smiles and varied Horrified Faces
On the People that Passed
As the Huntsman had plastered Herself
Central Screen once again for a Lark
I know not how she Held On
60 70 80 kilometres an hour
Her Stickability was Impressive
When we finally pulled under
The Shade of a Tree
There she was Hanging On
Close by the Number Plate
Her Exciting Journey
Keen to Relate
So when We Returned
And she found herself once again
On Home Ground
She emerged from the Bonnet
And Started to Preen
Calling her Friends so she could Relate
Her Journey and Appearance
On the Big Screen
No matter the Screen was simply
Part of a Car
She Appeared There and Survived
And she travelled quite Far
100 Kilometres thereabouts she has wandered
I don’t think she will now go Far from the Car
She’ll probably choose to Live there
Now she has become a Great Star
A Star of the Big Screen
A Star of the Windscreen
The Ride of the Huntsman
Become now a Tale
To tell her Grandchildren
Of just how Very Far
A Spider can Travel
At Great Speed in a Car
