Poem
You spun your spindly web of lies In the silken strands waxed family ties You coddled your young then muffled her cries You buried her carcass 'neath the availing skies Beneath your black veil lay a predatory disguise With your guile, you craftily disarmed all of the bleary eyes A bleeding shroud in your stolid carriage did rise A new, more sinister plan you did devise You desecrated the shroud and drained the feeding flies Intrigue turned to folly as your friends, family reconnoitered with spies In your cleansed web lay a portentous prize From the fowl smell of putrid flesh, a merciless kill they did surmise You quickly returned to your spinning mill a more flexible yarn to reprise You calmly intimidated that the innocent prey accidentally entered your vize With mercy and pardon you greeted its pitiful sighs After you released your caring grip, it fell through narrow gap, due to smaller size Landing in a squalid pool of water, with its plight did sympathize Drowning in your own cup of drained blood, could not immediately empathize When the hoary sun dried its bowl of tears, your twined fates did realize Hearts painfully severed, buried the corpse death's sting to tranquilize Burying your grief in the earth, your emotive grounds did subsequently anesthetize Oh stealthy predator time did your lethal venom into salt crystalize Your slithery prints the corroded carcass doth no longer advertize But from heaven's door a saintly angel yet lives your evil deed to immortalize
