OK, so I'm sure that something as vague as a nursery rhyme COULD almost mean anything, hence why I chose this category first. Things you didn't know about Little Miss Muffet:

In 1868, Peter Doyle, the supposed partner of Walt Whitman, wrote a version of little Miss Muffet that some experts believe could be a metaphorical representation of their relationship.

Little Miss Man
Had a great plan
to get her man to love
Along came the writer
Who sat down beside her
and said "you fit like a glove."

The poem was signed 16.4, which was Whitman's method of concealing Doyle's identity, and is thought to represent the sudden and explosive sexual relationship that is rumored to have existed between the two.
