He Spied Her

A spider named Deb was spinning her web
 When along came a spider named Jeb
 Though Deb was twice his size
 Jeb saw love in her eyes
  So Jeb built a web with great skill
 His silky threads gave Deb a thrill

 They both shared a web of romance
 Then one day Jeb saw his chance
 And he moved in for a kiss
 For a moment of bliss
 But poor Jeb had been misled
 Now he's hanging by a thread!
