Oh No! Not More Nursery Nonets!

Then there is that other Jack who has
burned his posterior by his
tremendous leaping over
that hot candlestick, but
he is okay now
and ready for
another 
happy 
day.

And, who could forget Miss Muffet yet?
She of such terrible fright when
that silly old spider sat
too close to her tuffet.
Wouldn't you run off
if it were to
happen that
way for
you?

THE END ....   whew!  Glad that's over with .... smile

I think running would make a lot of sense. And poor Jack. Funny retelling. Thank you for the smile.
