Oh the soft grass pushing softly up against your bare feet. Much better after that sandy jail. The smell of the flowers keep changing aswell. One minute they're roses the next they're, well I won't describe the smell...

*she pokes around in the undergrowlth until she spooks a centipede, but it hides in the leafmold before she can strike up a conversation - it apparently doesn't feel like making friends today. She has a seat on the ground to watch a spider in her web. She chats with the spider, which ignores her. There are no moths to catch, otherwise she would feed them to the spider.*

Little Miss Muffet (featuring Gladys the Spider) Posted Feb 13, 2003
*Miss Muffet looks up from her bowl*
[LMM]: It isn't curds and whey, it's low fat yoghurt but they had to change the words to make it rhyme.
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her low fat yoghurt
When along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And...
You see the problem?
[Gladys the 
]: They tried to go ethnic once but it caused even more problems.
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her chicken madras
