Little Miss Muffet

When Little Miss Muffet first visited buffets, she’d choose just cheese entrees, macaroni... Until one day in line a grand gourmand spied her. He advised some cider and egg foo yong. Now I'm the frightened one; ev'ry night of the week new gourmet food they seek. They're off the grid. Heard they ran away to far-off Cambodia where fried tarantula are tasty treats.
