The Spider and The Fly
Mohammed Tannerah 1981 (Kuwait city)
"Hello" said the spider to the fly
"Have you come today to say hi"?
"No" said the fly in an anguished cry
"My legs are stuck and they just wont pry"
"Hello" said the spider to the fly
"Please relax and don't you cry"
"I see that you cannot move on my web's noose"
"Give it a wriggle if you choose see if you can get loose"
"Oh dear I see that you are stuck"
"It's ok it is just your luck"
"Hello" said the spider to the fly
"This is where you have come to die"
