Spider to the Fly

poem by: John Carson
Written on Dec 24, 2016 

Step into my parlor 
Said the spider to the fly 
Sit right here beside me now 
No never mind just why 
Slide on up real close now 
And share this cup of wine 
Oh come on now 
You know your folks 
Really wouldn't mind 
There's one thing you should know though 
As you gently tip your cup 
At the slightest provocation 
I just might eat you up

Very good poem. It gave me the shivers. Spiders are not one of my favourites.
