    Little Britches: read to the end of chapter 23 (page 193)

Poem: Review the poems we've already learned and continue learning "The Embarrassing Episode of Little Miss Muffet." 

Little Miss Muffet discovered a tuffet,
    (Which never occurred to the rest of us)
And, as ’twas a June day, and just about noonday,
    She wanted to eat -- like the best of us:
Her diet was whey, and I hasten to say
    It is wholesome and people grow fat on it.
The spot being lonely, the lady not only
    Discovered the tuffet, but sat on it.

A rivulet gabbled beside her and babbled,
    As rivulets always are thought to do,
And dragon flies sported around and cavorted,
    As poets say dragon flies ought to do;
When, glancing aside for a moment, she spied
    A horrible sight that brought fear to her,
A hideous spider was sitting beside her,
    And most unavoidably near to her!

Albeit unsightly, this creature politely
    Said, “Madam, I earnestly vow to you,
I’m penitent that I did not bring my hat. I
    Should otherwise certainly bow to you.”
Though anxious to please, he was so ill at ease
    That he lost all sense of propriety,
And grew so inept that he clumsily stept
    In her plate -- which is barred in Society.

This curious error completed her terror;
    She shuddered, and growing much paler, not
Only left tuffet, but dealt him a buffet
    Which doubled him up in a sailor knot.
It should be explained that at this he was pained;
    He cried, “I have vexed you, no doubt of it!
Your fist’s like a truncheon.”  “You’re still in my luncheon,”
    Was all that she answered. “Get out of it!”
