danger of an unfettered pleasure

T for:   Tomorrow Never Comes


The danger of an unfettered pleasure
and an unguarded moment
Right there at the spider's bridal chamber 

Guess why the bigger-sized 
female could live for three years
but the male for only three months on the
average if lucky enough

For in a fleeting moment it had all happened
He was minding his bother beside her
and why the next moment was there inside her

Should the female be having a lover
or should it be left in hunger!

And should the male gamble with its wants
and finds tomorrow never comes!
