Builds Its Table On My Shelf
From that which comes within itself,
it builds its table on my shelf.
A spider. The silk comes from within the spider, and the “table” (web) is often built in corners like there are on a bookshelf.

Three Brothers Share A Family Sport
Three brothers share a family sport:
A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short
And trudges slowly on
The middle brother’s tall and slim
And keeps a steady pace
The youngest runs just like the wind,
A-speeding through the race
“He’s young in years, we let him run,”
The other brothers say
“‘Cause though he’s surely number one,
He’s second, in a way.”
The hands on a clock (hour, minute, second).
