The Spider In The Toilet

Whilst sitting on the bog
Trying to do a log,
Something happened to Mary
In her secret place all hairy.

From the drain so dirty
Up came an insect flirty;
It was a giant spider
And it scuttled deep inside her.

It felt so very prickly
And sexy, even tickly;
She had to use her thumb
To eject it from her bum.

The moral of this tale
You should learn without fail:
Before exposing anal features,
Always check for little creatures.
