A Spider is Not an Insect

This poet has most incorrectly checked The little box which indicates "insect." This poem, I therefore flatly reject. I sharply reproach the writer. A spider, never an insect, was. I say this insistently because, He should say "sorry." Until he does, I remain a concerned spider.

Dear Sara, I thank you for your gracious apology. If I could only get that ham handed Crandall guy to see the light! Do you realize he checked the "insect" box AGAIN on this spider poem? By the way, I enjoy your poetry. Yours, Spider

This poetry eloquently and powerfully conveys the meaning of precise and accurate labels and classifications. Ideas centered on the difference between spiders and insects were articulated flawlessly. I believe spiders are properly classified as Arachnida.

Haha, thanks Sotto. Unfortunately, there's no "arachida" box. lol. I'll let the spider take that up, and worry about whether I should check the "poet" box next to my name :-)
