Sinister: daddylonglegs (non b+s)

[.j 0n]

daddy o long legs man.
-------------------------------

my ceiling is covered with dead things
bits of spider, fly and wasp.
i stand on my bed and squash them
with a book when i get cross.

on my wall some wasps are mounted
with red paint pretending to be blood
green to be the juice
they are up there as a warning
'i will tolerate no abuse'

the other day a daddy long legs was dancing round my light
i missed with a rubber band
it began to show some fight.

when chasing a moving foe
here's a tip i think you should know
grab a can of bodyspray
to keep the insect pest at bay.
in my haste i picked up 'hair in a can'
got it in the corner and pressed down firm
and gave the longlegs a hendrix perm -
purple haze and out of sight
it zipped through the window
and into the night.
