Taking Liberties With Mother Goose

Rating: 5.0


Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Spider began to
On curds and whey chew
Thinking he'd have a feast
But he spat it out quick
For it made him quite sick
He didn't like it in the least.

He could take a hint
Back to his web went
Content to dine on flies
Felt bad for Miss Muffet
Run off from her tuffet
And tears fell from Spider's eyes.

Thanks, Louis. Every once in awhile, I'll write a nonsense poem or a children's poem, a little variation on the normal romantic poetry. Variety is good! : -)

Really cool poem, I think Mother Goose might be happy with your poem. A 10

Thank you Carl, but I dunno.... She might possibly be insulted! Hee-hee!
