Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet loved her curds and whey,
give me a box of cereal with cold milk and I will be on my way.
Along came a spider,
I bet they did not bring a glass of cider.
Little Miss Muffet should pick her friends better,
how about getting an English Setter.
Be careful who your friends are,
or you will not go very far.

This made me smile. It was so witty. I used to read occasional nursery rhymes to my daughter when she was little and to this day, I call her Miss Muffet sometimes, even tho' she is 22. Where was the Irish Setter when he was needed? Tsk, tsk. I heard spiders don't share, NO FAIR!

For sure the dog will be a far better friend to Miss Muffet than the spider would or could ever be. Congratulations on your win in my contest!

Paula, love your poem, some wise words here ! Picking friends can be tricky, sometimes they hide their true essence that is only revealed in time, then we have to purge them from our life as they are toxic to our well being and that is emotional, hugs, Constance
