About the Poem

'Little Miss' is a parody of the English nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet. You'll recognise that the poem is based on the original nursery rhyme, but some things have changed - a MacDonald's instead of curds and whey and a spider that, rather strangely, can speak.

Little Miss

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating a Big Mac and fries
Along came a spider and sat down beside her
'Yuck', it said, 'I prefer flies'.
