"Welcome to my parlor,"
Said the spider to the child.
"Come in. Get comfy cozy.
Sit and stay awhile.
I will spin a web and wrap you
In the pages of a book.
Come inside," the spider said.
"Come. Please take a look."
The child came in and settled down.
The spider laughed with glee.
She spun a web so wondrous,
The child could not break free.
And still today that child sits,
Enraptured in a book.
"Come inside, my dear, dear friends.
It's your turn. Take a look."
