Another one
A spider had caught a delectable fly
And prepared to consume it, when out of the sky
The arachnid was snatched by a gluttonous pigeon;
One gulp, and the spider was less than a smidgeon.
This bird was attacked by a ravenous gull
Which pecked it to pieces and shattered its skull;
The gull in its turn, flying over the reef,
Was destroyed by a skua, whose triumph was brief,
For a buzzard swept down and demolished the skua -
There's always a predator bigger than you are.
