What A Tangled Web We Weave!

“Families are like fudge;

Mostly sweet, with a few nuts.”

 

Author Unknown

 

When I joined Author’s Den

Way back in the year 2003

I thought I had no relatives here

And now, what an A.D. Family Tree

 

I soon discovered I had a brother

His name was old Jersey Devil Ed

Then Long Georg arrived from Sweden

“Hey! I am your brother Ed, too!” he said

 

Then someone named Tiger Lily showed up

Sometimes, she insists that she’s my ex-wife

And at other times, she claims she’s my sister

I didn’t even know I practiced incest in my life

 

And, of course, The Lad had so very quickly arrived

Little Andy claimed that he was my British half-brother

He says it has something to do with a very old Polish Count

And some member of Brit Royalty, who could be our mother

 

Then, a seductress named La Belle arrived on the scene

First, she claimed that she was our long lost sister, Red

Then, wouldn’t you know it, she started waging war

Declaring that she wanted all the Brothers Ed - Dead

 

And right now, we have a very crafty Black Widow, named Kathy

Whom I’m guessing, could be a naughty cousin to our long lost mother

This very tangled Author’s Den web sure gets mighty confusing sometimes

Signed, Spiderfoot Ed – A Son, Husband, Cousin, Whole, and Half, Brother

 

 

I Really Gotta Stock Up On Some More Flies Around My Tangled A.D. Den;

And What a Lovely Family, They All Really Choke Me Up, Time and Time Again

"Come into my Parlor,"
Said the Spider to the Fly...
Then all the Kin came In...
A'weaving their Spin...
Altho' it were a Lie...
But that's OK - What the Heck...
Let 'em Stay... Dessert Today is...
Fly-Speck!

ARACHNOPHOBIA ... THAT'S WHAT IT BE'S ! SQUASH !!! TK.

You were my favorite brother spiderfoot

but you disowned me for welcoming what you thought were unsavory characters into my warm wondrous web. You called me spiderslut,and threw me out of our Atypoides riversi, (American) web world...just because I liked a new genus (Dipluridae)from Chile,and let them all into my web of wonders you went ballistic. Now i have a web of tears,but do not fear, one day i will return triumphant to your paltry web my brother and make you cry for how you treated me so unfairly. I had always hoped for reconciliation but you never would consider it.so crawl well spiderfoot, while you still can. Tiger Lily Spidera, still with the best spinnerets;-) Regret to say,I still love your writing the best ...

Caution in feeding 'em more flies, Spiderfoot; you'll soon need to be reinforcing your web...with a safety-net/web for you and your Sweetie!
Too many spiders to face early in the morning ~~~shiver~~~ :o)

My question to you Ed would be...what are they after? If you're rich, it could be your money...as for the incest thing, don't sweat it...she's most likely just after your body that's all. We all know you better than that.As for the seductress red head I highly doubt she wants anyone dead. The passionate creature merely needs to get laid. Enjoyed the write Ed, love ya, Holly
