Gourmet Spider

Gourmet Spider Please, please, please don’t eat me I am so tiny Not a meal at all Eight spindly legs and no abdomen to speak of So please, please, please don’t eat me I have tapped and drummed on your web To soothe your voraciousness Now let me crawl stealthily to the back Move aside your spinneret And copulate But please, oh please don’t eat me I am not a meal you would call worthy Of those ferocious mandibles And the glinting cold gems of your myriad eyes Please, please don’t eat me Not this time any way And if you like I will promise to be a ready meal Just add water And you will eat your fill But not this time Ok Not this time This time let me escape The deed done I impregnate You And as I scramble over the treads of sticky silk The panic in my heart Is a treacherous mistake For she looks always for the perfection in her lovers ESCAPE !!!!!!!! AAAAAGGHHHHH ! What was that Oh no…… You beautiful …………………………………… cold………………….. ………………………………voracious……………… Bit………………………..

Wildly funny and very clever, Colin! There are lots of black widows in my area, but they are very small and people say they can't really hurt you. The brown recluse spider is another story. After reading this, my fear of insects has been reinforced. You're a wonderfully wickedly writer! Love, Carolyn
