The Arachnid Orchestra
The Arachnid Orchestra draws
An attentive crowd
Its members display superb skill
It doesn’t take long to figure it out
One talent, three instruments
And leftover legs that will
Tap the beat and turn the page
The tarantula leads the way
As she commands the cymbals
With a flourish she plays
Violin, one clarinet and still has
Two more legs to
Tap the beat and turn the page
Daddy long legs controls the timpani
Toots the flute and bows the viola
Couldn’t be prouder as he
Keeps his cool and according to rule
Has the necessary legs to
Tap the beat and turn the page
The pseudo scorpion proud to be
lead French hornist and cello master
the harp is near and she
Plucks its strings and always has
Two extra legs that
Tap the beat and turn the page
The tick has his pick of the bass
and trombone, always with ease he does
As he pleases on the snare drum
To the rhythm as his extra legs
Tap the beat and turn the page
So important the oboe pinched with
The black widow’s tight lips, a piano
She adores, a xylophone she
Explores as she still has legs
To tap the beat and turn the page
Lastly the tiny mite, important to all
A baton in each arm waving
wildly to control
This group of ambidextrous
Multi contortionists all
Displaying great talents as
6 x 2 plus the director too
Taps the beat and turns the page
To perform for you onstage their
Concerto for Overachieving Arachnids
