Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider[2]
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.[1] |
Thanks.
Wikipedia gives the origin as probably England, but possibly Scotland (on the same island, but in the north of it). It has an English, Scottish, or Irish "ring" to it to me. Shame on my Scots-Irish ancestors for not properly educating me about it. ha
