He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned. ~ Author Unknown
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it. ~ Jean de La Fontaine
Spied, a black spider beside the staircase,
I shied last night and fled to bed three flights,
hoping the creepy thing leaves my crawl space;
awaking to face remedy’s last rights:
Plot its meander for my peace of mind?
Its exile or murder as best I can?
Love for life’s hard to kill unless unkind;
for this Miss Moffet to be a hit man.
So, I’ll fetch a spade to corner and coax:
Come, comely critter along for a ride;
Stay, so this shovel-full reaches your folks
when flung beyond windows wonders outside.
But wait! What’s this, a bizarre twist of fate?
A bird swoops – just in time to take the bait!
a great story...we can't outrun our fate...if it is fate we believe in...i have mixed emotions about this question...i advocate free will so does that negate fate? and what does this have to do with spiders...duh good halloweentime poem
Deputy Dave Jenkins sets out to find the murderer of the local high school principal, aided by a voice from the grave that is sometimes helpful and sometimes misleading.
"Murder isn't usually this funny."
