NEW!

"Welcome to my parlor,"
Said the spider to the child.
"Come in.  Get comfy cozy.
Sit and stay a while.
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."
