In the Web

In the Web A spider Espied our Hungry scene Hung, re-seen In silken strands In sulk's entranced Grubby hold Grubs, behold! I, the fly, am caught Branched in grumbles Branching  rumbles Blowing leaves Blow in, leave A space in a scape As paced, an escape I, the fly, am freed Away to a burred shrub A way to a bird *shrug* That, the fly, no more

Dinner and a Movie

Stanzas alternate between homophonic and simple rhyming. Dinner and a Movie All askew I'll ask you (all as cued) To a movie (to a move, he rang of modesty) "Add in a meal and We'll call it a deal." (a deal isn't dating but still he's elating to do the date cliche) They meet and vegetate The meat and veggies taste

So lavish he

(so lavishly)

Ponies up the bill

They find a darkened spot

For quite light-hearted plot

They share a laugh and

Notice hands have

Formed into a  knot

Now they deal (they date)

Far more oft than not
