Me Lady the Spider
ME LADY THE SPIDER
There was once an arachnid, a colorful spider,
Who climbed up and down a ladder,
Her name was “Me Lady”,
Whose affection for males was somewhat shady.
Spinning her web for her babies, no doubt,
Hundreds and thousands of eggs she lay,
Moving sideways, spinning in and out all day.
“Me Lady” spun the most awesome webs,
Like an ocean – a tide comes in, then ebbs,
The envy of all the spiders in the woods
Magnificent colors, long spindly legs,
She enjoyed displaying these goods.
Their pantry needed filling, “Me Lady” alert,
A fly no had no chance, “Me Lady”would divert
Herself from the sticky place in the web,
But ants, moths, caterpillars, and the like,
Doomed, being a mother needed tenacity,
And required loads of energetic capacity.
Naturally, her specialty and choice, a cobweb.
Out of thousands of eggs, maybe a 100 survived,
To go off into the world and follow mom’s rules,
Out-living thousands of siblings was not for fools.
