Curds, Anyone?


New category: I had thought about asking you to rewrite or add to some nursery rhyme for your new challenge, but I've decided that is too broad. Instead, I'm providing the rhyme.
Remember this one?

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider
That sat down beside her

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Well, here is your chance to be the next Mother Goose (or Father Gander)! You may rewrite the above verse in any way you want. You may change her name, the name of whatever in the world she's sitting on, her visitor, you name it. Or you may use the poem just as it is an add a second verse to follow it up. So pull up a tuffet, scratch your head, and jot something down! You don't need an example this time. Maybe I'll add one in later....

Little Miss Hannah
Sat on a banana
She had nothing at all to say
Along came a monkey
who was acting too spunky
and stole Hannah's banana away
Hannah went bam
she told the monkey to scram
and she cried for the rest of the day!

Little Miss Mom
went to the prom
carrying a plate of beans
she tripped at the door
and fell on the floor
and spilled all the beans
on her jeans

Little Miss Liz
Was quite a whiz
at making good snickerdoodles.
But along came a spider
who fell in the batter,
which is now fit only for poodles.

Little miss Sarah
Sat on a chair-ah
Knitting some socks and mittens.
When along came her brother
Who became such a bother
That he drove Miss Sarah away.

The little lad Muffet
Was quite the young tuff-it
And real men just don't eat whey!
He ate of burgers his fill;
Then he couldn't sit still,
So he jumped up and cartwheeled away.

Young Master Baggins
Who'd heard tales of dragons
Traveled with eight towards Mordor
After months on the go
The ordeal found Frodo
With one less finger than before.

Well, I applaud your effort, Ben...but do you think you could add just a few more words...and maybe a plot? ;)

But I guess it's better than what I put...
