Shelob's Lair
Today I saved a flutter bug,
Dangling near our kitchen door,
Stole away the spider's meal:
You should have heard that spider roar!

Taking Time, Indeed
I met a bug upon my walk;
He said he had no time to talk;

The gnat, alas, would not compute;
So off I sent it to reboot.

Assuming a bug's eye view:
There's nothing there
But empty space
Waiting for me to fly through.
