Daddy Longlegs

by soma-mukherjee

Daddy Longlegs was sitting on his net and browsing through his past He wanted to do something which would make him big pretty fast He looked around and saw a fly buzzing around Suddenly his brain was shaken by ideas abound Hi said Daddy longlegs, it’s nice to see you miss fly Do come to my web and give it a try I am well aware of my ill reputation That is why am sending you an open invitation Bring in media if you still have some doubts I hope it will douse your fears if you have them as scouts Hesitant at first the fly still agreed to meet She never knew a spider can be so generous and sweet Fly was warned of spider’s ill intentions and of the agendas hidden But isn’t there a charm in exploring the forbidden! I will bring in some reporters said the confident fly That should take care of the spider’s greed and make him shy In front of a huge crowd fly stepped in on the web Daddy longlegs grabbed the fly before she could ebb Crunch munch he ate the fly in front of the crowd so huge People were shocked but still stood like a stooge Daddy longlegs was arrested later and sent to a jail Where he wrote a book on life in prison and law being frail The book generated lot of interest and became a best seller It got lot of publicity as it was written by a spider so Heller Daddy got pardoned as fly knowing all willingly fell in his trap Hence it was declared a suicide and the case against him was scrapped I guess dark is alluring as Daddy’s website has become quite a hit But there are people who throng the site just for the silken threads and their steely grit.
