SPIDERS

Whenever He visited Norfolk 

(Which wasn't often; the wet weather 

Depressed Him) the God of Jonathan Edwards

Lodged with James Woodforde's God,

Spending hours glumly watching the rain. 

The Two of Them spent long evenings

Crafting miniature bespoke miracles or 

Debating the proper use of spiders. 

Jonathan Edward's God insisted

Spiders were meant to be held over 

Huge fires with gloating detestation,

Symbols for the infinite hatred 

He felt for mankind. Woodforde's God

Rather liked spiders. Also people.
