“I have an unusual pet, I visit him every day.
![]()
My daddy long legs spider is unusual in every way!
He wibbles and he wobbles to and fro, underneath my kitchen table
He wibbles and he wobbles on skinny legs, just because he’s able.
He’s not so good at playing catch or even for chasing a ball, or swimming in a backyard pool – he’s not that kind of pet at all!
But what he does is special, he’s become a kind of fable, my extra-ordinary unusual pet daddy long legs under my table.
He’s not so good for playing ‘snap’ or even for chasing a ball, or surfing on a boogie board, he’s not that kind of pet at all.
But what he does is special, he’s become a kind of fable, my extra-ordinary unusual pet daddy long legs under my table.” Sherelle Eyles
