Preying or Praying
-- by Bernard Gluck -- Copyright 1997 -- bgluck@earthlink.net

Something that confuses me
And still this very day
Is what her name should really be:
To PREY or yet to PRAY?

She soon devours her new mate.
His life he has to pay.
For him an unrewarding fate;
On him she leaps to PREY.

And so it's PREYING it should be
Because of her attacks,
And certainly you all can see
I'm giving you the facts.


But on the other hand you see
The way she holds her arms
In prayer folded looks to me.
Together are her palms.

And if FORGIVENESS is her aim
Then might you all agree
That PRAYING MANTIS is her name
It still confuses me!
