for "The Unnecessary Line" challenge

The spider’s perfect daughter

Spun and wove and tucked and sewed

Webs of flawless, neat proportions

That could handle every load.

The spider’s perfect daughter

Wove a web for her abode,

That all the spiders did admire,

And her praises they bestowed.

The spiders perfect daughter

Never ever ever ever slowed,

Hardworking every minute,

If I sit still with the silence, I think my head might just explode.

The spider’s perfect daughter

Spun and wove and tucked and sewed

Webs of flawless silken beauty,

That in golden sunlight glowed.

The spider’s perfect daughter

Then a gentle smile bestowed;

And worked hard to please her family,

And tucked and wove and spun and sewed.
