Notes About The Poem

Lady Killers

Hey guys 
Just a little word of warning if you are attracted to me

With my alien looking lime green triangular head and bulging eyes
You can see I’m so alluring …
But I’m the epitome of a ‘lady-killer’
Yes, me this innocent looking little green insect

Let me make it VERY clear, if you want to 'make out' with me 
Maybe YOU should start PRAYING
Sometimes, in the throws of passion, I have a tendency to BITE …
You may just lose your head!

Now who fancies a date?


Praying Mantis Contest
Sponsor Anthony Slausen

08~15~16


Inspired by the song ‘the female of the species is more deadly than the male

Vladislav Raven August 16, 2016 at 9:09 PM Hi Jan, love it, I'm too loveabl;e to lose my head. I do like the fun in this one. I don't think i'd lose much by losing my head. I always said the ladies are more dangerous and this just proves my point. I'm always drawn in by eyes. Well, time to lose my head i think. I'd rather have a cup of tea, less dangerous. Good luck in the contest Jan. Hugs....Mike. XX. This has to be a seven Jan Allison August 18, 2016 at 11:30 AM Will join you in a cuppa Mike and you can read me your wonderful romantic lines and I will make you smile with my funny poems:-) hugs jan xx
