Listen to the Doctor
A Bad Review of Arachnophobia
Doctor hates spiders
People drop dead across town
Doctor proven right
Author's Note: This poem is for Matthew Fromm's "bad movie" or "bad" movie review challenge, which you can find here. (I went with the latter, writing a bad review of a movie.) As the subtitle indicates, this review is of Arachnophobia. I found the movie to be hilarious and creepy at the same time (the latter mostly because I really hate spiders), but I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Elderly Woman Behind the Table in a Large Town
The glass of Absinthe sat before me. Itโs quite amazing how despite such terror rendered upon their stones in the preceding decades, these streets still held the beauty I first read about as a girl. I never dreamed Iโd set foot on these cobbles, at least not safely.
