Inky Binky Spider

When I visited Momma this morning, I'll swear I heard the cemetery sound system playing the tune for Inky Binky Spider.

That must be the same tune as for another song.

Or maybe I'm just imagining it. Looking back now I wonder.

But when I was very young, I remember learning Inky Binky Spider at Boston Ave Methodist Church here in Tulsa. The choir director taught it to all us young young young choir members.

The "lyrics" go like this:

Inky Binky Spider crawled up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed th spider out
Inky Binky Spider crawled up the spout again
Down came the rain and washed him out again.

Something like that.

Momma and I every now and then recalled the song to each other. Always with smiles and laughs.

A happy memory.

Oh Momma how I miss you

Thank you Lord Jesus for my dear Momma.

I love you Momma so much

I love you Jesus so much
