Linda’s African Adventure

I’m safari-ing in Africa!

I’m here in Tanzania!

I see the mighty animals!

Oh, Gee!  Oh, Momma Mia!

My eyes are wide with all I see

across the broad savannah.

The skies are high and bluer

than the Big Sky of Montana!

And when we’ve seen what we can see

we’ll go by motor car,

 to visit awesome wonders of the

isles of Zanzibar.

And then I’ll pack up bags again

to hop upon a plane,

and head back tired and happy

to Nevada once again.

A Spider’s Web

(for Shannon)

I’m living with a spider.

Spiders like to be alone.

So she’s living in my shower

where she’s made a Spider Zone.

She seems to do much better

when I leave her by herself,

doing what it is that spiders do,

beneath a bathroom shelf.

It’s a quiet life we’re leading,

just enjoying one another.

I’m behaving quite responsibly.

I am a Spider Mother.
