SHE COULDN’T HELP HERSELF

‘Black Widow Marionette’ – Artwork by Johan Swanepoel

---

All decent blokes support the feminists. However, in one society the masculists – is that a real word? – need a helping hand. You probably knew this already. In case you didn’t, ‘Black widow spiders are arachnids that are known for the females’ unique appearance and tendency to eat their mates’ – courtesy of livescience.com.

The spider climbed the old brick wall
He was looking for a bed
He’d left his web unattended
At least that’s what he said

---

By the time he’d reached the rooftop
He stopped to take a rest
And that was when he saw her
She looked great, he was impressed

---

So he thought that he must tell her
She was the most beautiful black spider girl
She smiled and said ‘thank you, Sir’
And gave him a sexy twirl

---

Later, under a full moon
They made love on a chimney stack
When that was over and done with
Was the time of her attack

---

She didn’t plan to do it
It’s just the way that she was made
She ate him alive for supper
Straight after getting laid

---

She never could help herself
Every lover she had got ate
Not one of them escaped her bite
Was it bad luck or was it fate?

---

Today, just my ‘heartbeat silhouette’ song called ‘Tick Tock’.  I hope you enjoy.
