My Lady Mantis (Poetry)

Oh my scary Lady Mantis
you pray so long and hard
rubbing eager hands together
then play your winning card

Your staring eyes magnetic
how patiently you lure
some unsuspecting victim
your intentions far from pure

you allow this male his pleasure
you let him mount your back
and once he’s done the business
you betray him and attack

His willing neck so tender
you gobble down his head
for sex has left you famished
his appetite now dead

You’re a nightmare Lady Mantis!
Who would risk a passing thrill
when safe sex is not an option?
But men don’t listen — never will!
