While many people believe that it was curds and whey that Little Miss Muffet was eating during the nursery rhyme this is actually a misunderstanding. The original wording of the rhyme tells us that the aforementioned Miss Muffet was actually eating turds and hay. Due to the accents of people over time the rhyme slowly mutated to say curds and whey. There is also another theory that curds is actually spelt "kurds", it is believed that the Turkish and Iraqi governments originally wrote the rhyme as a piece of Propaganda against the Kurds, it is said that the rhyme infers the weakness of the Kurdish people.

What is forced rhyme?
A forced rhyme is usually when something doesn't quite rhyme, but the poem "forces" it anyway... (I ate an orange / and then duck a l'orange) depending on your pronunciation or being a little free with accents or pressing a word beyond its normal capacities. It can also happen if you have to make up a word in order to fit the rhyme. This can be done playfully or artfully (as Seuss), but it can also be done badly or pointlessly ("I ate an orange" / declared Mr. Zorange). -------------------------------------- A forced rhyme is also where the writer grammatically changes a phrase to make the rhyme fit... The barber gave me a buzz Fine with it I was ...normally, you'd say "I was fine with it".
