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?”

Somehow I missed this
There is no one like a Muffet, to bluff it, on her tuffet (what ever that is??

[willweb]

I was wondering what that was myself. Thanks Dave

[Kelly Scheppers]

Funny, and so cleverly written! Your comedic talent is a welcomed change to all the drama. Thanks for the "aha" moment at the end and the enlightenment you bring, Will!

[willweb]

Thanks so much Kelly. Yep, a little humor is always something nice to find I think. I appreciate your visit.

I’ve always liked poetic spins on nursery rhymes
Well done

Enjoyed this spin of yours that you spun !

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Julie

[light and ashes]

Lol. Damn. This is funny.
"Get lost can't you see I'm eating?!"

[willweb]

Thanks for coming by. I am happy you liked this.

[light and ashes]

lol you're welcome

[Ken e Bujold]

moral of this: if you are a spider learn to spin your web (no pun intended, but now that i see it :) ) with a little more sugar LOL

[willweb]

hey, spun sugar...she might like that. : )

You are welcome Will.

Sometimes the spider is more bite, than web. There's just one glaring problem with your poem ... the spider is not an insect! Count the legs in my avatar. The arachnid took offense, it did, at the mistake made by the hominid. It would like to invite you to climb into it's paper web, sticky with ink. There's no escape! It eats wills. Look what happened to me.

Poetic license? If you look, I also didn't mention that she was sitting there eating (curds and whey) but I had her put her food down. : ) I used insecct because, creepy little 8-legged creature from the depths of darkness" would have thrown the meter way off. : )

[willweb]

Oh, sorry...thanks so much for coming by to read. : )

[William Michael Reeves]

You can dispense with being polite. I think we're past that. I'll allow you to use your license, as long as it hasn't expired.

Speaking of creepy creatures from depths of darkness ... does the name Shelob mean anything to you?

[willweb]

No, not that I can think of, why do you ask?

[William Michael Reeves]

Lord Of The Rings reference. Shelob is the spider that wraps Frodo up. Just wondering if you were into Tolkien?

[willweb]

I am to an extent...but I guess the spider didn't register with me. Weren't there big spiders in Harry Potter too?

[William Michael Reeves]

I never really got into the bespectacled one. Watched some of the movies, but I'm a reader.

[willweb]

I'm a reader as well. I am reading Dorothy L. Sayers right now. I purchased her collection to read.

Very cute! Most men that I have encountered in my life are scared to death of spiders. I've always found this to be so odd. They don't have an issue with snakes but are scared of spiders. After reading this, I am going to have a difficult time not looking at a man as if he's a spider with eight eyes! :) Well done.

[willweb]

I am not afraid of spiders but I am afraid of snakes. Does that make me odd? : ) Thank you so much my friend.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

It makes you interesting. :)
