A New Spin on an Old Tale

Little Miss Muffet

climbed on her tuffet

to sit on a branch of an oak

With her curds and her whey

she watched butterflies play

when a spider dared give her a poke!

Little Miss Muffet

suffered a buffet

when she saw its four pairs of mean eyes

But she quick gained her wit

and before she got bit

gave the spider a bit of surprise!

Little Miss Muffet

told the spider to stuff it

when he tried to put her in his web

A lassoed arachnid

that does just what she bids

Makes Muffet a certain celeb!
