A spider called Incy was
bored and fed up. He
craved the taste of flesh and blood. Taking out his
diary a little black book, he looked at the
entries to see which one of his friends took his
fancy. A spidery smile spread across his face as he
gradually worked his way down the page, some of them
he hadn't seen
in an age. There was Jack and Jill,
Jake the peg, he was the dude with the extra leg. There was Old
King Cole and his fiddlers three, and the fat dude Humpty Dumpty.
Leafing through the rest of his book he came across, Old
Mother Hubbard and The Woman Who Lived In A Shoe. AHH! he thought
now she will do so many children she'll not miss a few of them.
Oh, they'll go down such a treat, their ruby flowing, soft tender meat.
Preparing to feast on their flesh so fine and drink from
quite a delectable wine, a spidery smile
returned again to his face, as he hurriedly scurried, crawling at
spider quick pace. Spinning a thread of delicate silk, crawling up
the shoe under the cover of night, slightly lit by Luna's light.
Undetected he crept onto a bed expecting a feast of young flesh, with a
vicious force Incy was no more, waiting a wicked grin on her face, was the woman who swallowed a fly, God knows why but she did. She was always
Xanthippe, in a mood, but I think it was down to the food. What do
you expect when you consume a
zoo? Flies, horses to name but a few, indegestion, sudden death too.
Author notes
xanthippe: Means ill-tempered woman
A-Z each line starts with the next letter of the alphabet. Alphabet acrostic

Cute piece (actually "cute" is probably the wrong word to describe it I didn't even realize the progression through the alphabet which either means I'm a total spaz or you did a pretty good job penning this one. I prefer to think it's the latter (I imagine you do too.)
-
-
The latter is preferable I'd hate to think you were a total spaz. (and I think I did a pretty good job )I appreciate you reading and commenting.

So you do naughty nursery rhymes, too! HE! HE! Aren't they fun, Sugar?
I'd have a bone to pick with you about calling me MUM 'MOTHER HUBBARD' but when I opened me cupboard I couldn't find a bone, at tall! LOL!!! And this fine contest piece of yours - that only goes to prove that you are proficient at your ABC's has inspired me to do a little naughty nursery rhyme of me own! I'd do more but I'm still looking for that bone in me home and I haven't too much time! LOL!!
