A spider descending

Let me tell you this funny thing that happened.

Yesterday I went into my upstairs bathroom
to put away some medicine I bought in town,
and while I stood there by our built-in cabinet,
tucking the box away where it belonged

I sensed something tickly at my forehead,
and pulled back to look

and there was a little spider descending from the ceiling
just like I said in the silly caption of that picture, my last post,
and he would have landed right on my head.

This is a true story.

But believe me, I did not have that sort of starry amused look on my face
that I did on the picture.
I do not know what look I had
but I’m pretty sure it was not
that one.

I hit him away
and he landed on the cabinet shelf
and a piece of toilet tissue handled it from there.

Let that be a lesson to the lot of them.
