Lamentations of a Lady

There was a little lady bug,

As harmless as can be.

She wanted somebug to love her,

But couldn’t find any you see.

She left the safety of her home

to look for someplace new.

She went as far as her lady legs could go

And then she met a bee.

“Hello dear sir” the lady bug announced

“I’m looking for a love bug, is it you?

Could it be?”

The bee instead turned and yelled

“I already have a queen!”

“I’m sorry!” She said, “I did not know!”

She tried to turn and flee.

But she could not out run the angered sir

And screamed out “someone help me!”

She thought her time was up,

And then the bee was dead.

She opens her eyes surprised to find

A spider had taken his head.

“My dear little lady,” the spider said,

As he began to spin his silken thread.

“You need a lover so I’ve heard.

I can fill that stead.”

The ladybug was wary, but the spider was so sweet

She couldn’t help believing him

As he swept her off her feet.

He led her to a strange new place

And when she grew afraid,

he said “Fear not, I will not harm you.

You are my treasured guest.”

She wanted to run but the spell was cast

And the spiders thread was spun.

He tucked her in and bid her goodnight,

And the lady never woke up.
