Trick & Treat

"What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly." - Morticia Adams

Come into my gossamer digs

I’ll show you my décor

Relax and make yourself at home ~

So glad you found my door

 

I rarely get a visitor

So late on Halloween

Do pardon all those sticky threads;

I’ve not had time to clean

 

I see it in your widened eyes ~

You’d like this to be quick ~

My dear, however did you guess

You’d stumbled on a trick?

 

You are a luscious morsel,

So juicy and so sweet

You may have come for candy,

But you've now become my treat...

October, you know...

I guess what we call bad treats in Halloween are good treats for others. It is like one man's trash is another man's tresure sort of thing...Very creative as always...Bravo

[Rita L. Sev]

True! I certainly don't want to eat a fly, but for the spider, that's a delicacy. Thanks, Sami!

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha. You are welcome...:)

[Baby Ricochet]
