It had been raining for days
Finger lightning on display
Frighting residents of the southwest Florida coast
Most older of course
Retiries living in condominians
I'm a matainance man come down from Michigan
I used to live on the Thumb
Unemployment is why I come
Every morning we get these storms
By afternoon its way too warm
I work with another man
He is younger and goes by Den
Pay in Florida is way too low
Our work is easy and normally slow
Most days we have time to scout the beach
The young prettry girls are mostly out of reach
Nice to look at though
String bikinies and braws so low
On the side Den and I are gigalos
The money is good if you don't mind your loving old
Widows pay well for the service
Lonesome and in need many turn to this old vice
Hey You gotta make a living
Besides Den and I believe in giving
After these morning rains it always gets warm
Then nasty are the insects that swarm
Biting both man and beast
Then the spiders come to feast
I have never never liked spiders
Just the thought and I shudder
Big and black with beady eyes
Running pouncing on the sand catching flies
Spiders are more animial than insect
The make me cringe and I almost feel sick
The way they eat their prey
The way they poison it to save it for another day
Dennis and I just recived a call
There's a water leak at condaminian four
Damn There goes our day on the beach
Bye Bye bikinies and sun taned cheeks
At the condaminian we had to shut the water off at the street
Water was running at our feet
Damn We had a job on our hand
There was a broken main right in the basement
We would have to brake through the cement
This would take a day to complete
Den and I got our work sheet
Bottled water was given to the residents
Complaints were percistant
We pumped out the water to enter in
The basement was filled with wet sand
Where the main was there is a big hole
Sand piled as if by a giganic mole
I walked over to get a look inside
I saw what looked like two huge beady eyes
I leaned over for a closer look
Spooked
I ask Den for the high power flashlight
Imeaditaly I was filled with terrifying fright
In the sand I tried to climb
Crawing with every limb
The sand kept drawing me down
I took a thousand steps and not took one
Dennis looked down then he ran
Help me help me Den den den
He couldn't hear
No longer near
I could see the spider as big as a car
Goddang creepy crawler
The more tried
The more I realized
In this sand trap I could't escape
Looking down I could see the spider wait
God I don't want to get ate
Light from the basement began to disipate
The more I cried the more muffeled the sound
This sand was pulling me underground
I was in the spiders den
Terrified not merly frighten
Baby spiders by the thousand
Tunnels all over in the sand
Big enough for a volkswagon
Everywhere skelton bones of man
Momma spider sat on me and stung
I was paralized and she wrapped me in a cacoon
I couldn't move but I could see
Realizing they would eat me
Paralized
I couldn't even cry
Gnawing fear
Dinner how near
It must have been much over a week
Wraped like a butchers meat
Momma spider speaks with rhymatic humm
Up above I hear them filling this tunnel in
Two young spiders push one another like one on a mirror
My fear is shear
What is keeping me alive
Do spiders need fresh meat to surive
Wait wait Momma spider is unwraping me
Their going to feast
I'm free
I try to flea
Its no use
To her leg I'm stuck by goo
Agggh she tore off an arm
Babies swarm
The more I bleed the more that come
With her jagged jaws she snaps off my other arm
I'm terrified
I see momma's eyes
Looking at me with eyes that shine
As bright as a train on a railroad line
Her jaw snaps off a leg
I lay there and bleed
Her eyes shine on me
I can hardly see
Her jaunty jaw is coming at my head
Crunching cracking a final snap and I'm dead

A truly fascinating story this Denis.
I never experienced spiders of the kind you describe here. cannot even imagine their size, - perhaps only in Florida - but I tell you that that a kind lady helped me to eliminate spiders from the computer,- and believe it or not - cockroaches.
Kind of her.
But your sotry is indeed fascinating.
Thanks for offering it.
Blessings
