“Magpie Mate..”

I lay down on my sofa drifting away within my head then it soon became apparent I was dangling on a thread, hanging precariously, teetering on tricky . I was a Daddy longlegs in shreds that were sticky . I felt anxious and affraid, absolutely petrified . As a Praying Mantis played perched by my side . I bellowed and bawled to tell her to keep away, if she touched this web she would meet her doomsday

Well I was alone coz the Praying Mantis flew away fluttering and flittering to live another day . I looked up to the sky and from the corner of my eye there was a hairy spider feasting on a fly . I had to think like a man and come up with a plan . Any minute now I was gonna loose my lifespan . I heard a clickin’ and a clackin’ up the tree where I was caught up in this gossamer, poor little me . “Magpie mate with your beautiful black and white,
please untangle me from my terrible plight” . Brilliant!! Amazingly.. he heard my shriek when he hopped from bough to branch and gobbled me up with his beak . Thank heavens I had nodded off in a daft daydream where the ridiculous is realistic and your episodes are extreme
