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!

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!

The fly must have had very bad instincts. Lovely limerick.
