Talk:Little Miss Muffet

Family Circus
When I added this item to the article, I entered the first line as "Little Miss Muppet/Sat on a tuppet." (I included the bracketed question mark at the end.) I don't know who changed "tuppet" to "buffet" but "tuppet" is in Bil Keane's original. Dougie monty (talk) 18:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I remember that there is also a rude version which was:


 * Little Miss Muffet sat down on a tuffet,
 * Her clothes all tattered an torn,
 * But it wasn't the Spider who crept up beside her,
 * It was little Boy Blue with a horn!    Miletus (talk) 13:39, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

The Section "Alternative Lyrics" is mistitled, because "Little Miss Muffett" is not a song with lyrics. More importantly, is it really appropriate to include that nonsense about Walt Whitman's possible or reputed partner and his suggestive rhyme? This takes speculation as a basis for changing the subject to one that is wildly inappropriate, since that parody is in no way an "alternative" to the original rhyme, and since it is not well known, there is no reason to acknowledge its existence. I do not think it has been included in good faith. Wordwright (talk) 02:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)Wordwright.

The lyrics in the Lyrics section aren't the lyrics in the infobox photo
The header pretty much says it all. Is this fine? Not fine? InedibleHulk (talk) 03:38, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Along came a spider
The article says "Along Came a Spider" takes it's name from a crucial line in the nursery rhyme. But that line does not appear anywhere else on the page. I'm confused. Is that a line in the rhyme or not? 172.115.99.168 (talk) 18:58, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
