Miss Myrtle-May Miller

Miss Myrtle-May Miller
Went into a a dither
While making a pot of tea.

She did not know
as I hid from below
her concoction I could see.

It was much more than tea
And it was meant for me
But I switched the cups instead.

She knew she had failed
When her insides railed
Now Miss Myrtle-May Miller is dead.
