A fly is buzzing around my face
and crawling from dog pooh to my food
I know I must destroy this pesky creature
before it poisons me.
I grab a swatter
aand a rolled up magazine
to go hunting, waiting for it to land
then swatting with all my strength
and missing... letting it get away
to bother me throughout the day.
Unlike a human, the spider is much wiser
it patiently builds a trap,
a silk web in an unobtrusive spot,
then catches the fly
with very little commotion.
I need to learn from that.
