I found this monster in my house, I don’t know what to do
Catch it in a little glass, or hit it with my shoe
They’re very clever what they do, just freezing on the spot
It makes you think it’s just a smudge, or a big black hairy dot
It’s not until you get so close, it decides to run away
Senseless circles round and round, an interesting display
It’s looking for a darkened place, it’s normal hidey home
Underneath the showering tray, or bathroom mat or foam.
Going on the internet, I did a real good search
And finally, I found my foe, I hoped there’s not much dirt
It is of course a Silver Fish, it doesn’t swim in water
You wouldn’t cook it for your tea, or give it to your daughter.
