DOWN THE SPIDER HOLE

By Debbie Day

48 words

Kat the rat

swings her bat.

It’s a fly!

Wait - oh my.

Where’d it roll?

Down THAT hole?

Creepy, steep.

Dark and deep.

Now she spies

SEVERAL eyes.

Kat’s worst fear

inching near.

Creepy crawl.

There’s the….BALL?

“Here you go!”

“Really? Whoa.

…Want to play?”

“Hmmm. Okay!”
