Web of
Wonder: arachnomania
The
spiders there in Middle-Earth
Suggest
arachnomania,
Perhaps,
was present at the birth
Of J. R.
R. Tolkien—
Of
fantasy, the reigning dean.
They were
of such colossal size
(Remember Shelob?
Oh, so huge!)
Well, she
came from the mind and eyes
Of J. R.
R. Tolkien—
Of
fantasy, the reigning dean.
Miss
Muffet—could that lass have been
An
ancestor? Here’s what I mean:
Did she bequeath from way back then
That
spider thing of old Tolkien?
(Of
fantasy, the reigning dean.)
