A fly stuck in a spider's web gives a buzzing distress call <br />Too entangled for to fly free and too powerless for to crawl <br />Unto a safer surface for it no get away <br />The sleeky black house spider rushes forth and grabs it's prey. <br /> <br />It can't escape the spider's fangs no matter how it try <br />Perhaps it is a natural death for the common blow fly <br />Many of it's kind have a more painful end they linger for a day <br />After inhaling the poison fumes when hit by the fly spray. <br /> <br />For the hungry spider a nice meal it's appetite to satisfy <br />It may have to wait another day or two for to catch another fly <br />Of the flies that fly into it's web perhaps two out of three <br />Seem to cheat death in the nick of time by somehow struggling free. <br /> <br />The fly cannot escape the spider's grasp today the hunter eat <br />And to it's taste buds a sleek blow fly makes for a tasty treat <br />The laws of Nature apply to all of life even to you and I <br />And for the spider for to live the blow fly had to die.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fly-stuck-in-a-spider-s-web/
