Sally saw Tuffet turn the jack-o-lantern off

And waited and watched from afar.

He’s playing a trick, that brother of mine.

I’ll turn his game upside down.

She quietly crept up the side of the gourd

Entering through one of the eyes.

Then carefully crafted her cobweb of silk

And lay down to plot her next move.

Soon Tuffet charged in on his eight wiggly legs

And bellowed a ferocious loud BOO!

But Sally had finished her potion by then

Causing Tuffet to yell, “Who are you?”

“I’m Little Miss Muffet, you silly young spider

Who’s frightening her Tuffet away!”
