Battling Cobwebs

Each morning while out in my garden,
the cobwebs are draped all around.
They stretch across fences and bushes,
all the way down to the ground.

Their invisible threads so annoy me,
as they brush up against my face!
I end up covered all over my head
and they cling to me like lace.

It really is quite a battle,
avoiding those traps spiders lay,
I won't be one of their victims.
So I have to plan every day.

(Alternative verse suggested by Joanie)
With my broom aloft every morning,
I sweep all the webs right and left.
The spiders fly off and scurry around,
looking quite cross and bereft.



But as I look out of my window
I know they'll be back again,
And all I can do until morning,
Is hope that we have heavy rain!!
