A Fly and the Lady

A fly of unusual size Saved from the web by the lady bug. It wasn't difficult to free him, She just gave a pull and a tug. A fly of unusual height He seemed pleased to be the one freed, But required distraction to ease His troubled mind of the dirtied. A fly of unusual strength, His prime entertainment of choice Was to test lady's loyalty And to pirate her singing voice. A fly of unusual might, His twitchy face soon sprouted fangs. Fear flashed through the lady's eyes when The fly struck such horrible pangs. A fly of unusual sight, He showed the lady who he really was. Wings shed and legs arched toward the sky, The fly revealed his lying cause. Because the fly was not a fly, He was the one who spun the web. He tricked her into loving him So he could make her final bed.
