360° virtual tour of Church of the Nativity, Aylestone Park

Confession: Although I'm a regular visitor to the Church of the Nativity 'function' room (particularly in my capacity as a committee member of the Aylestone Park Residents Group), I have never been inside the actual church. Still, I think you will agree that the 360° virtual tour of the Church of the Nativity at the corner of Cavendish Road/Richmond Road in Aylestone Park, Leicester, is quite impressive.

The Spider

 











I’m just a tiny creature,
far smaller than a mouse.
I know that I’m not welcome,
but I do live in your house.

You never have to feed me
or take me to the vet,
I’m gentle and I’m friendly,
and yet I’m no one's pet.

I know that some folk hate me,
I give some folk a fright;
but I’m really inoffensive,
and I’d never ever bite.

I have some naughty cousins
who come from far away;
I know they bite in anger
and hurt folk every day.

But I am no tarantula
or widow dressed in black,
I’m just a common spider
with my eyes upon my back.

So please do not be frightened,
I’m harmless as can be;
I will never hurt you,
so please do not harm me.
