L'aura del Campo

Whey, what's a tuffet? [248]

Whey, what's a tuffet?

Mizz Muffet's Big Orange Boo
so tar'd of curd,
but verry hungry too,
eyed ma little bird.

Along came Dawg ta save the day
(ta wrestle Muffet's cat)!
I didna see wut came next.
Nuthin's left but 'is 'at.

Once I Saw a Little Bird
By: Walter Crane in 1874

Once I saw a little bird
Come hop, hop, hop;
So I cried, “Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?”

And was going to the window
To say, “How do you do?”
But he shook his little tail,
And far away he flew.

A standard speech version:

Miss Muffet's Big Orange Boo
so tired of curd,
but very hungry too,
eyed my little bird.

Along came Dawg to save the day!
(to wrestle Muffet's cat.)
I didn't see what came next.
Nothing's left but his hat.
