Why Does a Spider Have Eight Legs?

Two of them are for the steering wheel; To drive unsafely is to be a heel. One is to make penciled calculations; To make missteps is to spoil relations. Two more make amorous advances; Based on calculations, he has good chances. One makes careful notes, oh so detailed, So, one day, his memoirs can be retailed. Two are needed to solemnly pray That a baby spider is not on its way.

Dear David, What a witty poem about a spider's eight legs. It is both humorous and thought-provoking. Each stanza cleverly highlights the multifaceted nature of the spider's appendages while also drawing parallels to human behavior and experiences. I loved how your playful tone and clever wordplay make this poem a delightful read, leaving the reader with a smile and a newfound appreciation for our arachnid friends. - Blessings, Daniel

Thanks Daniel! What I can't understand is how a spider can coordinate all of his legs, when my brain is at least twice as big, and my left hand doesn't even know what my right hand is doing!
