[There's the sound of metal on metal, and then an odd clicking, like heels on cement. The singing is low and soft, like she doesn't want to be heard]

The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out,
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy-bitsy spider went up the spout again.

[There's a pause, and a breath.]

The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out...

[Her voice is technically very nice, but there's an odd flatness about it.]

I know that one.

[synanthrope]

Doesn't everyone?

Not the kids in China. Then again they don't have enough food to eat.

[synanthrope]

Children in China nonwithstanding.

Why wouldn't they have enough food?

You know what? I never asked. All I know is that would be the yap I heard if someone's plate wasn't cleared.

[adamantined]

Talk about an earworm.

[synanthrope]

Or a spider in an ear.

Hello, Claire.

[adamantined]

That sounds like it would be itchy.

Hello, Saya. Has someone been singing you nursery rhymes or something?

[synanthrope]

No. It got stuck in my head this morning.

[adamantined]

Are you afraid of spiders?

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Catchy.

[synanthrope]

Haven't you heard it before?

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Not that I can recall.

[synanthrope]

It's a children's rhyme. Although they used it in a horror movie, once.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

So does the spider ever make it up the spout?

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Was there a second verse?

[synanthrope]

I don't think so. It's just a small rhyme.

sorry for the late tag, I lost the notif!

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

I guess another would ruin the cycle.

s'okay!

[synanthrope]

Would it?

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Well--unless there's another spout on top of the first. But that seems a bit much.

you didn't see that

[nosferotofu.livejournal.com]

Been awhile since I've heard that one.

Nope.

[synanthrope]

Has it?

Nope.

[nosferotofu.livejournal.com]

There aren't many kids where I come from. Or maybe they just grow up fast.

[synanthrope]

No children? Why's that?

[nosferotofu.livejournal.com]

Let's just say, there's a lack of resources.
