Edwina

Edwina was feeling waspish; or perhaps she was just hungry- for wasp.
Of late she was finding her appetites rather hard to sate , frankly she was becoming one finicky spider woman.
Edwina was a Black Widow of many and varying tastes and one did so tire of the usual insects day in and day out. How she longed for something more exotic to fly into her web; Tsetse fly or Fire Ant perhaps.
On the Amore front Edwina was faring no better and she yearned for romance with a tasty male morsel. Of Course there had been suitors-Ben the Redback, he had been attentive, but ultimately gristly. Then there was Rex the Huntsman, she had enjoyed his company until she noticed how plump and succulent his legs were. Harrison the Daddy Longlegs had proven most unsatisfying (as a main course that is) . Felix the Wolf spider had been a dish, but those pesky hairs did tend to get caught in ones fangs and Toby the Golden Orb Spider had been a pretty bauble to hang off her leg, but never a serious concern (He had been a slippery one to catch too, but Edwina rarely let her love interests escape unscathed.).
No Edwina wanted the whole package in a male- Good looking, entertaining, not to quick on his feet and ultimately delicious. I mean she wanted to have spiderlings of her own one day. But until he came along she would continue to spin her web and snack on insects.

Why look here comes Charles the Money Spider- pitiful really, so far out of his league� Oh well, perhaps just a nibble�.

Ephemera and Bernie Bunny

Ephemera's an explorer,
Brave, heroic and strong.
If there's a hint of danger,
She�s bound to come along.

One day she's a sailor,
Set sail on the briny sea.
Or like Tarzan of the jungle,
She swings from tree to tree.

She could be camping in the forest,
Or exploring the exotic east.
Perhaps she'll take a trip China-
To partake of the emperors feast.

She fancies wrestling crocodiles,
Or a fearsome grizzly bear,
And she says to tame a lion,
You must match it stare for stare.

Ephemera's no frou frou girl,
A broken nail wont make her weep
She hungers for adventure-
If only in her sleep.
