Loves Fatal Attraction

What she had was a fatal attraction
For all men, there was no compassion.

She had been hurt so many times before
That she wanted to settle the score.

She had gotten to be known as the black widow spider
There was no more love left inside her.

So many men had fallen prey
And in her web they would lay.

The more they fought the stickier it would get
She hadn’t had her consumption yet.

So many victims she had consumed
And their love had ended too soon.

Although she had all the assets a man would desire
Her love was a funeral fire.

So men ! Be careful whom you hurt
The widow spider is on the alert.
