a tiny basement spider
screeches and wonder
"Where is your lover?"
he assuredly answer
"She's sitting pretty
in her chamber
longing to sit beside
me, her charmer."
an unsightly butterfly
questioning shy
"Would your lover come by?"
he boldly reply
"She's been busy,
she would never lie.
She would miss me,
said her last July."
a dearly praying mantis
speaks a tiny hiss
"Who would you love to kiss?"
She blows to her lips
"To be honest,
it is the Prince.
Just met him last night,
yet I already miss."
