Walter De La MareMiss TIt's a very odd thing-- As odd as can be-- That watever Miss T eats Turns into Miss T! PorridgeApple 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, Plate with Muffins 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!
