Warm and soft her sinuous body
Was Wrapped around my leg entwined.
Waiting for me to join her
So to dine.

Innocence displayed extravagant
Yet all a lie set to deceive
Through a consuming web gain
Her victory.

Cruelty bridled by chance alone
Yet unleashed within an instant
When unsuspecting quarry
She pursues.

Do not ever believe her lure
Young man or bleeding you’ll repent.
And rue the day you ever
Saw her too.

Though soft and subtle seems her charm
And gentle is her sweet caress.
She only waits to do you harm
And in her paws there lingers death.
