The Fly And The Spider
‘Hello Mr Fly,
Why are you hanging there?’
‘Wrapped in silk so snug
Inside my spider’s lair’…
‘Good day Mr Spider… I am a silly fly,
I fell into your spider web,
As I descended from the sky,
I hope we can be friends,
And that you’ll set me free,
I do hope Mr Spider,
You won’t eat me for your tea’…
‘You see it is like this’…
Said the spider to the fly,
‘I have a hefty appetite,
So you may have to die…
It’s not that I’m unreasonable
Or a nasty sort of chap,
For at least you’re warm and cosy
Inside my silken wrap
Being swathed in silk
Must surely be a pleasure
And you can make me happy
When I eat you at my leisure’…
