a game<br \/>\nOf hide and seek clearly<br \/>\nBobbing about<br \/>\nI am wearing my blue dress<br \/>\nAnd can hear them shout<br \/>\nAnd bathe in the light<br \/>\nIts intensity<br \/>\nWhich now

somewhere lies hidden<br \/>\nA spider by name<br \/>\nA butterscotch fairy<br \/>\nWhose claim to fame<br \/>\nIs she weaves her web<br \/>\nOf the silks from the sun<br \/>\nShe is bronzed she is
