Lullaby

I spy with my little eye

Something beginning with

On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes

Softly shadow of the evening sun sun

Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead

Looking for the victim shivering in bed

Searching out fear in

The gathering gloom and suddenly

A movement in the corner of the room

And there is nothing I can do

When I realize with fright

That the Spiderman is having

Me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs shaking his head

Creeps closer now

Closer to the foot of the bed

And softer than shadow

Quicker than flies

His arms are all around me and

His tongue in my eyes

Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy

Don't struggle like that or

I will only love you more

For much too late to get

Away or turn on the light

The Spiderman is having you for dinner tonight

And I feel like I'm being eaten

By a thousand million shivering furry holes

And I know that in the morning

I will wake up in the shivering cold

And the Spiderman hungry

Come

Said the spider to the fly

I have a little something here ^[1]
