Nature
The Parlour and the Fly
From Child Verse (1900)
Nature
"Will you walk into the Spider?"
Said the Parlour to the Fly;
"He's the emptiest little spider
That ever you did spy.
"And he covers me with cobweb;
So I want you to go in;
For--his lower chamber furnished--
He will have no room to spin."
