Itsy Bitsy Spider
Awaiting your small prey,
Why must you choose me
To torment on this day?
Silently you sit,
Draw your final breath.
Beware of the
SMACK!
...It's the sound of death.

Oh my gosh! This was so cute. I mean, I hate spiders, so I loved the ending. 

I like how you took a well known nursery-rhyme and modernized it, meanwhile keeping it's prior rythum/flow. Great job, really :D
