Meet my spider friend!

I pet a spider the other day 

My daughter found it 

Under a carpet somewhere 

Webby Webster is his name 

It was more exciting than screen time so I played along

I found a container for it

And fed it raisins

I used to be scared of bugs

But knowing the advantage of less screen time without fussing I played along

I did it afraid

She beamed 

I let Webby crawl on my hand 

Even I was stunned 

Our guests were also

But I did it afraid

For the greater good

Eating veggies not as scary as touching a spider …

So be encouraged 

Eat it scared

Green and all

I’m rooting and hooting for you!

For the greater good… veggies are good fuel that can help reverse and prevent disease!

In health, 

Dr. Olabintan
