    "A Brew and a Spider: A Dance of Lunch"

    In a hot box mobile home, where the sunlight gleamed,
    Lived a woman named Michelle, who often daydreamed.
    With her coffee in hand and a laptop on her lap,
    She was lost in a tale, in a wonderful nap.

    But just when she sighed, “This is bliss, oh so nice!”
    A spider appeared, oh so crafty and spry.
    He danced on a blanket, did a jig on the floor,
    And Michelle, in surprise, dropped her laptop — what a fall!

    “Hey there, my friend, can’t you see I’m engrossed?
    Your eight-legged antics, quite frankly, I loathe!”
    But the spider just winked and performed a grand leap,
    As Michelle tried to shoo him, her coffee took a steep.

    It tipped and it splashed, oh, what a disaster!
    Her dream turned to chaos, and the silence unraveled faster.
    “Why must you interrupt my serene little life?
    I was cleaning the coffee, not dodging a spill!”

    The spider just chuckled, with a mischievous grin,
    “I thought you’d enjoy a bit of a spin!
    Life’s too short for quiet; let’s mix it up a bit,
    Wouldn’t you rather laugh than just sit and sit?”

    So Michelle took a breath, bit back her frown,
    And decided to jump from her eight-legged clown.
    The laptop flew on the couch, oh, what a sight,
    A woman and a spider, escaping by flight.

    Now, whenever she prepares her laptop, with her coffee in hand,
    She glances around for that arachnid friend.
    For some time it seems, in our quietest space,
    A little interruption can bring entertainment wherever you go!

    • That’s a delightful and whimsical poem! The unexpected interruption and the spider’s playful challenge perfectly illustrate how embracing the unexpected can bring joy and a change of pace to even the most peaceful moments. It’s a charming reminder to find humor in life’s little surprises and to not take things too seriously. The ending is especially sweet; it shows how a negative situation can turn into something positive.

      • Thanks, but no. This poem was funny to think about and write about, but I drew the line. He was an unwanted visitor, but it did, however, end up being more funny now that I think about it. The spider gave me words to right. 🙂
