Anansi meets Miss Muffet

Anansi meets Miss Muffet
Under a jamoon tree
Dear Muffy, he says
I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I scared you
All those years ago
Please say that you forgive me
I had to let you know

But Muffy had her earphones on
Listening to Madonna
Got up to dance to Material Girl
And sadly, squashed that spider

Anansi Rises

So! You think yuh squash me?
So! Yuh think I dead?!
Yuh shoulda know de Spider Man
Have nuff dread pon his head
Yuh squash me but I slide!
Yuh mash me but me glide!
For Spider always rises
Like Atlantic Ocean tide!

He rise up through de gutter
He rise up through de drain
He rise up through de bathroom plug
He parachute in de rain
He polevault on yuh shoelaces
He swim in yuh lemonade
As soon as yuh think Anansi gone
He rising up again!

So watch it dere Miss Muffet
Watch it dere my dear
Anansi is invincible! He’s
Spiderman de Great!
