Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

A Flying Romance

 There was a fly who fell for a spider
He made her tummy churn inside her
She entered his web
Thought she’d be wed
But became just a meal provider.

Written by: Beryl Edmonds

******

After the spider made lunch of the fly
A curious grasshopper leapt on by
He told the fly with gusto
I really now must go
to dine on my worm and centipede pie!

Sam Kauffman February 13, 2024 at 10:26 AM Nice take on the spider and the fly theme, Belle with a slice of irony! Life isn't always what it seems or what we imagine! Great parable in the style of a fable! Blessings! Beryl Edmonds February 13, 2024 at 11:19 AM Thank you for that Sam, very much appreciated. Beryl

Victor Buhagiar February 12, 2024 at 10:01 AM The fly must have had very bad instincts. Lovely limerick. Beryl Edmonds February 13, 2024 at 11:12 AM She must have done, thanks Victor… Beryl
