Rewriting the Classics… Miss Muffet


Emily trotted into the room with glee. She was only five feet tall, but had a big presence.

She plonked herself down upon her stool and read the slogan on her packet of salt and vinegar crisps:

Delicately flavoured salt and vinegar potato crisps by Curds and Whey” she read aloud. She then thought “Hardly delicately flavoured – my mouth’s burning off!”

Suddenly the hulking figure of her new next door neighbour, who she only knew as ‘Arachnid’, burst into the room, firing a water pistol at her.

In shock, Emily screamed and quickly fled the room, drenched.

Arachnid laughed.

    How very spider legs of you Tom 🙂 I think that this version
    is definitely worthy of a mention and I hope that you are now
    planning on adding some more of these re-vamped nursery
    rhymes, well there are plenty of them to choose from…

      There are a few of them around, Andro!
      This was a spur of the moment thing, a bit of an experiment, but I may have a go at another one or two in the near future!
