A Sweet Young Girl

There was a Mantis, a sweet young girl, Who wanted to give mating a whirl! She found a poor boy With whom she could toy, Who didn’t know his life would unfurl! Footnote: Some female Praying Mantises are notorious for eating their mates after or even during the reproductive act. Strangely, this doesn’t deter the males, typical!
