Said the spider to the fly,
“Come and visit me, big guy!
I’m a gal who’ll make you smile,
If you’ll only stay a while.
And of course I mean no harm…
I’m the epitome of charm!!”

Today's optional word in Succinctly Yours is 'expedient', and while I didn’t actually use it in the piece, my wily spider exercises expediency in her approach to every meal!

I apologize for the spider pic if it creeps you out. I'm one of the few folk I know who truly like creepy-crawlies of all sorts. Wait....I don't know anyone but me who does...how odd!!

My words about that:
Seven Sins
There are seven sins
that I would never commit
lying isn't one

Excellent:-) Succinct and clever and funny . . .
I like your No. 15.....I do not like spiders or flies.
Happy Fourth of July.
Spider
on the wall
brown and hairy
small and scary
Eight quick legs
two pinchers'
weave a web
stick quick home
Flitting fly
mesmerized
lands to climb
cannot move
cries and cries
Wanna be
a spider
or a fly
Expedient
choices
live or die
Spiders! Ew. But you wrote a happy verse about her. Those hairy legs! Ack! I have just moved out of Spiderville, thankfully, so far no spiders over here:)
I am not very keen on spiders, but they are useful for the expedient removal of flies I suppose. Good MF!
I expect the smile would be very big as she wrapped him up in silk!
great fun - well done
:Dom
Clever and charming!

Love this! Very clever, and a spin on the pic that never occurred to me. Well done.
Lynette,
Strangely different. I guess it is just that Incy Wincy Spider, did actually grow up!!!
Hope all is good Lynette.
Going back to our old city for a few days at the end of July...
Best wishes, Eileen
Yes, the spider pic creeped me out a bit, but your poem made me laugh!
Yes, the spider pic did creep me out a wee bit, but I loved your poem--excellent rhymes and meter! So clever!
Thank you for your comments, Lynette...I've been negligent about visiting blogs for the past week.
~shudder~ lol, yuck! Even Charlotte's Web couldn't convince me to like spiders that are too close for comfort! Happy Thursday! :)
love it! that fly had no idea how juicy it looked.
