GREY WIDOW SPIDER

GREY WIDOW SPIDER 

THE BLACK WIDOW SPIDER IS FEARED BY ALL THE LITTLE CREATURES.                                           PARALIZING VENOM AND CRUSHING JAWS ARE SOME OF HER FEATURES.                                       

BUT NOTHING LASTS FOR EVER, EVERYTHING GETS OLD.                                                                     EVERY FIRE LIT EVENTUALLY GROWS COLD.                                                                                               

NOW ALL OF HER VICTIMS LAUGH AND JEST                                                                                             AS SHE TRIES TO LURE THEM INTO HER NEST.                                                                                          

SHE THINKS SHE STILL HAS IT AND IT’S REALLY SAD.                                                                                SHE DANCES HER SPIDER DANCE AND REALLY LOOKS BAD. 

SHE’S A GREY WIDOW SPIDER AND SHE’S LOST HER BITE.                                                                       ALL THE BUGS DANCE AROUND HER IN PLAIN SIGHT.                                                                     EVEN HER WEB IS SAGGING AND SHE CAN’T CATCH A FLY.                                                                     SHE KNOWS THAT SHE’S LOST IT BUT SHE STILL HAS TO TRY.                                                                 IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE; SHE CAN’T KEEP GOING ON THIS WAY.                                                    EXCEPT THAT YOU’RE OLDER AND CHANGE COME WHAT MAY. 

SHE’S A SINGLE LADY AND SHE TURNED SIXTY TODAY.                                                                           SHE’S HEADED FOR THE CLUB’ SHE THINKS SHE CAN STILL PLAY.                                                            

THE YOUNG GIRLS, THEY LOOK AT HER AND LAUGH BEHIND HER BACK.                                             THE MEN MAKE JOKES ABOUT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT SHE LACKS.                                            

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY IS A LESSON SHE HAS TO LEARN.                                                      SOMEONE NEEDS TO WRITE HER A LETTER, TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.                                           

YOU NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE YOU’RE STILL A KID.                                                                             JUST LOOK AT YOUR MOTHER AND DO WHAT SHE DID. 

SHE’S A GREY WIDOW SPIDER AND SHE’S LOST HER BITE.                                                                      ALL THE BUGS DANCE AROUND HER IN PLAIN SIGHT.                                                                          EVEN HER WEB IS SAGGING AND SHE CAN’T CATCH A FLY.                                                                    SHE KNOWS THAT SHE’S LOST IT BUT SHE STILL HAS TO TRY.                                                                IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE, SHE CAN’T KEEP GOING ON THIS WAY.                                                  EXCEPT THAT YOU’RE OLDER AND CHANGE COME WHAT MAY. 

SHE THINKS SHE LOOKS GOOD BUT SHE NEEDS ARTIFICIAL AID.                                                                    FALSE TEETH AND GIRDLES AND A WIG WITH A FADE.                                                                               

FIFTY YEARS OF PARTIES HAVE LEFT THEIR MARK ON HER FACE.                                                          HER HEALTH IS FADING, SHE CAN’T KEEP UP THE PACE.                                                                          

IT’S TIME FOR HER TO WAKE UP AND START ACTING HER AGE.                                                            IF SHE WERE A STORY, IT’S TIME TO TURN THE PAGE.                                                                            

A WORD OF ADVICE, IT’S TIME TO CHANGE YOUR WAY OF LIVING.                                                  FATHER TIME AND MOTHER NATURE ARE NEVER FORGIVING. 

 

 

 

 

                                                         THIER TEARS.
