Black Widow

She's got a plan
just moved to Florida
one week in the hole
a forced proposal...

"yeah...
uh...
maybe if I get a job with insurance;
we'll get married...
then you'll have insurance too!"

a bribe
the spider web is officially constructed
"Charlotte's web"
no...we'll name it
the Black Widow!

hahaha, I love this one. I wish I knew how to be like that black widow. I am a big pushover letting the big bugs walk all over me. Sorry I can only see one poem and move on. I'm at joe's puter and have little time to get back to all my comments. Appreciate you. Andrea
