Have you ever watched a spider
Inside a window clear?
His prey is on the outside
Without a single fear.

The spider is perplexed,
He see's his prey right there
But weaves his web for naught
And captures only air.

The bug just laughs and worries not
The spider paces to and fro
But gets some satisfaction
From the fly-bye of a crow.

LOL... The birds were having a great time taunting my cats... so we started going out onto the balcony... and that balcony railing immediately became less interesting to a bunch of birds? LOL

The image of a perplexed spider... pure delight! *G* Loved this!

Excellent! Reminds me of the time my parakete was sitting on the window ledge and a cat tried to get a meal on the fly. My mother kept really clean windows. Needless to say, it was quite comical watching the cat take a header and the bird never even flinched. Really! I don't know if the bird knew what was coming or he was just to stunned to react. Thanks for the memories. Peace.
