Miss T Poem by Walter de la Mare

Miss T

Rating: 2.7


It's a very odd thing -
As odd can be -
That whatever Miss T eats
Turns into Miss T.;
Porridge and apples,
Mince, muffins and mutton,
Jam, junket, jumbles -
Not a rap, not a button
It matters; the moment
They're out of her plate,
Though shared by Miss Butcher
And sour Mr. Bate;
Tiny and cheerful,
And neat as can be,
Whatever Miss T. eats
Turns into Miss T.

My Dad called me “Miss B“ because of this poem. Now, I’m think it was an unintentional curse.

Yes, indeed, that is why our diets fail- - everything we eat sticks to our ribs
