little miss muffet

so she got a gun
put on some assertive gear
and confronted her demon

  1. It wasn't the spider that sat down beside her, it was little Boy Blue and his…oh, nevermind.

    1. You seem to be obsessed with wind instruments these days .I hope this is what you meant little Jack Horner otherwise as a punishment you will be sitting in the corner together with Miss Muffet on the naughty stool!

  4. Ah that's the way to kill spiders. On the other hand if you kill a spider it will rain next day.

  5. Laughing my head off!
    Spiders are why I am not a Jain -- I still smash them gladly!
    But if the sucker was that big, I'd be pulling out my luger too.
    Anything to befriend that Muffet!

    1. Most of the creatures here are big and deadly .We have gun control so you would have to learn to smash them with your surf board or drive over them in your ute. The nation is packed with Miss Muffets so things should be OK in that department.

  6. That is a real laugh out loud piece. I love the "assertive gear" - like she couldn't just blow the sucker away without dressing for the occasion!

  7. I like picturing Miss Muffet as an assertive woman! Very cool take.

  8. Some say the rhyme relates to Mary Queen of Scots and her fear of the evil minded John Knox. If you are in need of a weapon, I might know a man who knows a man.
