Nefarious Nursery Rhyme

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
And what a nice tuffet indeed
 
Along came a spider
Sat down beside her
Said, “hey babe, you’re something I need”
 
She set down her food
And thought, Damn, how rude
This insect thinks he is Prince Charming
 
He crawled to her thigh
With a wink of his eye
Gave a laugh at his thoughts so alarming
 
The closer he got
It became quite hot
His tiny heart rapidly beating
 
With a swipe of her hand
She ended his plan
Yelling, “Get lost, can’t you see I’m eating?”

Thanks so much Nette, I learned a long time ago, never bother a woman when she is eating. : ) Now the spider knows that too.
