The Not so Tiny, Very Busy Spider

The eensy weensy (aka the itsy bitsy) spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the eensy weensy (aka the itsy bitsy) spider went up the spout again.


It has been raining all week so the clothes had to be hung indoors when we did the laundry.
Although it was sunny yesterday, we didn't have enough clothes to run a wash load.
I remembered the weather report (according the elevator last Friday) had a sun hiding behind clouds for Sunday so I decided to run a load and that could hopefully catch SOME sun.

When I checked outside to hang the clothes, this is what greeted me.



As you can see, our backyard spider has been busy.


For some odd reason, RD and MyGirl know two different versions of the nursery rhyme.
RD knows it as the ITSY BITSY spider while MyGirl is convinced it is the EENSY WEENSY spider.
I have a feeling MacGyver taught RD the song because my first instinct is with MyGirl and  'eensy weensy.'

Calling on my siblings ... itsy bitsy or eensy weensy?

EENSY-WEENSY!!!

Itsy-bitsy's just wrong! (Although I'm pretty sure I've heard Sunshine and Jersey Girl and possibly Mindy sing Itsy-Bitsy ).

There's also a weird version of "I'm a Little Teapot." I know it doesn't match mine.

The one *I* know goes:

I'm a little teapot, short and stout.
Here is my handle, and here is my spout.
When the water's boiling, hear me shout, "Shhhh! Shhhh!"
Lift me up and pour me out.
