He has eight legs and eyes
But how he eats is even stranger
He may look threatening
But he is no major danger
Urticating hairs may cause some pain
But will not kill
And a bite from his fangs may hurt
But you will live still

He wanders in the desert in the night
Hunting for a meal

Looking for something to eat - Tarantula!
Prowling in the desert for meat - Tarantula!
Searching for a lizard so sweet - Tarantula!
Or a little mouse would be a treat - Tarantula!

Mostly he just dines on tasty little bugs
But

Searching for a scrumptuous tasty treat - Tarantula!
Hopefully he does not want my feet - Tarantula!
