I saw a tarantula running and wondered what would happen if ------------------

TARA

 

Tara the tangle foot Tarantula

Has a walk that is quite spectacular

Try as she might, she can’t get it right

And this at times becomes quite a sight;

When ‘which foot next’--- she often forgot

And then fell over ----- her legs in a knot

 

So Tara the tangle foot Tarantula

Did something rather spectacular

She enrolled in a school where lessons taught

The secrets involved in a lady like walk.

She struggled and tried, and all exams passed

Discovered she had ---- a cute walk at last

 

Tara the tangle foot Tarantula

Has a walk that is rather spectacular

She tried so hard to get it--- just right

Then did something that wasn’t quite bright

She stumbled! Which Foot! Oh Gosh, she forgot

And Tara fell over ------ with her legs in a knot.
