Once Upon a Time

Little miss Muffett sat on her tuffet…

"Why am I sitting on this small foot stool when I could be sitting in that comfy couch right next to me?" Robin wondered out loud.

Eating her curds and whey…

"So now I'm sitting on a foot stool, eating a bucket of cottage cheese… without a spoon. Did the author get into her stash of crack again?"

Along came a spider who sat down beside her…

A small white spider with a large black afro came down a thin thread of web and perched onto the arm of the sofa next to Robin. "Hello Miss Robin, will you be so kind as to show me your drawers?"

"I'm sorry spider-san, but I have to decline," Robin answered, continuing eating her cottage cheese with her fingers.

There was a long bit of silence when the persistent spider asked again, "May I see your drawers now?"

"No, spider-san,"

More time passed and Robin began to build up dread for yet another attempt from the spider at seeing her drawers.

And frightened Miss Muffett away…

"Then perhaps I can borrow some money?" the spider asked.

Robin stood up from her stool and left the spider without a reply. She turned a corner and walked into a small kitchen. The spider stayed in his spot expectantly. There was raddling in the kitchen and the spider could hear utensils being moved about.

Robin returned with a hand tucked at her side, concealing the item in her hand. When she was close to the spider, she rose her arm and wacked him with a fly swatter. The spider, not being completely harmed, scurried back up his web quickly.

"Shoo, you can't see my drawers or have money spider-san," Robin said.

The End.


A/N: Yep, In 1805 (when the poem was first created) Panties were known scarcely as Drawers. Ah the OOC'ness of imagining robin eating cottage cheese with her hands. :D
