Spying Spyder
Spying Spider climbed the wall
He climbed it fast and climbed it strong.
“I have to hurry, there is no time
It starts at five, it starts at five!”
Spying Spider found the spot
Above the window, as he sought.
He took his pen and notebook out
Put on his glasses looking down.
Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, at the desk
A girl was getting ready for the test.
She took the book, the map and pencil case
“I love Geography!” Her name was Grace.
“Three countries in the world
The largest population of them all?
It’s China, India, and the United States!”
Grace found them fast with a happy face.
Spying Spider was taking lots of notes
He wrote them down; he had big hopes.
“Oh, that is brilliant! Oh, thank you, Grace!”
He packed his things and sprinted to his place.
Down in the basement, there was a little room
Three spider brothers were waiting under the broom.
“Hey, mom, we’re ready, ready to study! Where is dad?”
“Be patient, darlings, he’ll be back soon, just don’t be sad.”
All of a sudden, the tiny window opened wide
“I’m home, my boys!” and Spying Spider got inside.
“Firstly, let’s start by reviewing Einstein’s biography
And then, my dears, we're going to learn Geography!"
