Maybe it's about a spider
Spider Silk
by Cindy Warren
Clever little spider,
Such a web she weaves, Tired of her usual fare, Today her food she leaves. This day she'll spin a new web, The biggest that she can, Greedy little spider, She's going to catch a man. She weaves the strands together, Makes them the biggest and the best; A masterpiece she creates Before she stops to rest. Stronger than the strongest steel Is this spider's deadly thread, Sticky strands to hold her man Until he's dead. She selects her victim skillfully, Picks the juiciest of the lot; Cautiously she maneuvers her web Until he's caught. She takes her time and sucks him dry Just like he was a fly; When all is gone except a husk She says goodbye. Then our lovely little spider Discards the useless mess And the black widow's next meal Is anybody's guess. |
