Little Miss Muffet.. Annotated.
Little Miss Muffet, (an apparently easily frightened indentured servant of some sort)
She sat on a Tuffet.. (A low stool or foot rest.. Poor girl.)
Eating her Curds and Whey. (for those who don't know that is milk separated into solids and liquids by adding an acid such as vinegar.. ewwww!)
When along came a spider (eight legged creature that, while beneficial in gardens, inspires fear and horror)
and Sat down beside her (OK this is a bit creepy for her to notice the arachnid coming along and pulling up a piece of sod it had to be of pretty good size.. could even be one of those Sci-Fi Spiders giant and dripping venom..... Just sayin')
and Scared Miss Muffet away. (See Ripley could'a learned something here.. if it is creepy and dripping acid venom... run like Heck! Burn it! Nuke it from space, No really it's the only way to be sure.)
