He lays the trap so beautifully

With gilded words and flattery

Perfumed strings from satin yarns

And well honed, perfected charms

 

Impatiently waiting to find his prey

Maybe he’ll just get lucky today?

A vulnerable, gullible woman he’ll find

Who’ll flip for him and fall for his lines

 

The stage will be set, everything in place

Flowers, chocolates, even a midnight serenade

A rich velvet voice, saying all the right things

Entreating, tugging at her heart strings

 

She’ll walk right into it all, mesmerized

Everyone wants a piece of paradise

It works like a charm, this age old ploy

“Come into my parlor”, says the spider to the fly.
