Unnecessary

Dictionary.com defines "Tuffet" as a low stool or foot-stool.  Why are we hanging on to this word?  It's over for tuffets.

The only reason we ever needed this word was to rhyme with "Little Miss Muffet".  And that is a made-up name!  We can use made-up names to rhyme with anything!  Little Miss Neet sat on a seat, Little Miss Dare sat on a chair, little Miss Key sat under a tree!

We do not need muffets. 

Good day to you!

  1. Tuffet is a perfect word...get off your high tuffet it says exactly what it is...okay who am I kidding the spell checker is not even recognizing the word but I have the picture in my head because of illustrated nursery rhyme books.
