My six legged friend is still around In my conservatory he can still be found I thought he'd gone to pastures new I'm not ashamed to admit it left me blue Then lo and behold I found my friend I was so pleased to see him, I won't pretend I picked him up, to get a good look at Sid My heart sank, my fears I could not rid For Sid was now one more leg down He was now five legged Sid, I had to frown What is happening to my poor little chap? Are the big boy spiders giving him crap? He really is a plucky little fella, I must stress For he's surviving well with just five legs He's even managing to spin a web so fine In places that are way up high I now each day, do a conservatory sweep To check where he is, in corners I peep I like to know as I don't want to hoover him up For that would throw me into a terrible rut I can't tell you how attached I am to Sid A little household spider, not small or big He is a five legged spider, a handsome chap I'm so glad my once eight legged friend is back
RIP Sid
Unfortunately Sid died last night, I'm really very gutted...sad but true
