Spider Vs Mantis

The Debate as i sit upon my porch the red orange sun dying like a torch the strangest conversation i overheard a spider and a mantis speaking words says spider to mantis “how do you sit about all day, without a place to stay? is that really how you prey?” says mantis to spider “why do you hang about that way, just to be busy all day? is that really how you play?” arachnid responds “i am resourceful i'll use any corner for my lair, when it’s complete i hide and wait there. infinity in my web i balance i feel it vibrate and then i pounce! Miss Mantis your life is dull and dreary, you need a web like me my deary!” cousin of the roach replies “i am patient and intuitively calm, i sit like a leaf without a qualm, i meditate about the simplest things, then i strike with sharpened springs! Miss Spider you're the boring one, i travel with the wind just for fun!” the mantis sitting the spider doing the spider spinning the mantis knowing winds of eternity flow and ebb the mantis praying in the spider's web
