I actually thought this was a flying snail - or is my problem an acute ignorance of the this's and that's of snails?

Nice shot, in any case, Randy!

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came Wallenda,
With a different agenda
And they still talk about it today

However due to legal wrangling between the Wallenda’s and Tuffet’s, in today’s version Wallenda is simply referred to as “a spider.” Wallenda originally wanted top billing in the story, which was immediately rejected by the Tuffet’s team of lawyers, and as talks broke down he was eventually denied all royalties from further publications of the event, causing him to demand that his name and likeness be removed from the story entirely. His name was removed, but despite an intense court battle his likeness remained, when the judge agreed with the Tuffet’s counsel that “along came a cricket, who wanted to lick it” changed the story entirely. Pleas by Wallenda’s lawyer to use a beetle or cockroach instead of a spider also failed. And that’s why in today’s version it was “a spider who sat down beside her, and frightened Miss Muffet away.”

Now you know the true story.

Darn, Moody, you tell a better yarn than John Grisham whose book 'The Summons' which I found lying around, I read.

Please, please don't run to the bookstore and buy and don't even borrow it from the library.

Anyway ... let your imagination run wild and wild, you are very good.

Oh, how I wish you were a mighty publisher, sitting in an L.A. skyscraper, but I appreciate your kind comments all the same:)
...and thanks for the tip. I shall do my utmost to not to read The Summons.
