My Friendly Spider
PL E
I have a friendly spider, She lives inside my bath. She runs around in circles, And makes me laugh and laugh! She gets very dizzy, And looks at me so strange, And before I can count to three … 1 … 2 … She runs back down the drain!
SA M
I have a friendly spider, She lives above my bed. She catches flies, And gives high fives, And spins her little web!
I have a friendly spider, She lives in my play box. She gives me toys, Which make a loud noise … BEEP BEEP! BRUM BRUM! CHOO CHOO! Then hides behind the blocks!
