Dinner With Venus
She proudly presents her perfect buffet
with budding conceit to all she invites,
botanical sweets on pompous display,
delectable airs of nature’s delight.
Stunningly dressed in leafy attire
with beauty to lure a wanderer’s eye,
such delicate fronds of tasty desire,
sure to attract any friends stopping by.
Her guests soon arrive, each place is reserved,
so gracious a host, she welcomes them in.
These unwary friends, soon to be served,
are placed in their seats as dinner begins.
She places her table with perfect disguise
as sweet hospitality comes to an end,
then savors a dish of outwitted flies…
delectable treats served with dinnertime friends.
