LordofDarkness

Magic Eight Ball
Greetings.

As can see, my name is LordofDarkness, but you may call me Lord.

After years of searching aimlessly for somewhere online to express my creativity via the medium of wordplay, I stumbled onto this site and after perusing the forums here on and off for a little over a few days, I have decided to throw myself into this new realm of possibilities.

I have little to say in terms of introductions. Only a brief 'hello' as recommended and advised by the site rules and regulations.

For now, I shall leave this in my wake:

Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."


"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the Spider to the Fly.
"There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!"
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "for I've often heard it said,
They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!"


Said the cunning Spider to the Fly, " Dear friend what can I do,
To prove the warm affection I 've always felt for you?
I have within my pantry, good store of all that's nice;
I'm sure you're very welcome -- will you please to take a slice?"
"Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "kind Sir, that cannot be,
I've heard what's in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!"
 
Saludos, amigo. You've got a neat excerpt of verses there—did you write that yourself?

I would love to say that I was the one who wrote that poem, unfortuantely that would be a lie. The writer is Mary Howitt and it was first published in 1828. I am, most certainly, not that old. ;)
