Gr. 2 Class Speech Arts poem: Students must memorize the first two stanzas of The Spider and the Fly by next Wednesday. Class copies will be handed out tomorrow.
"Will you walk into my parlour?" said a spider to a fly;
"'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy.
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I have many pretty things to show when you are there."
"Oh no, /no!" said the little fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair / can never come down again."
"Sweet creature!" said the spider, "you're witty and you're wise.
How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!
I have a little looking-glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you'll step-in one moment dear/ you shall behold yourself."
"I thank you, gentle sir," she said, "for what you're pleased to say,
And bidding you good morning now, I'll call another day."
