"Won't you come into my parlor?", said the spider to the fly.

I think it's from a poem, but a Google search didn't help. My mother used to say it all the time and now I find myself saying it to my kids. I'd love to know where it's from!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I was searching with the wrong words. Thank you for the link. I never read the whole poem so I didn't realize what I was missing.

Actually I typed in "said the spider to the fly" and it gave me a direct hit. When I typed in the "won't you...." it took me to sites that only quoted that sentence... Anyway, I love GOOGLE...

No problem by the way.
