Muffin man, illustrated in Punch
Do you know the Muffin Man?
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man.
Do you know the Muffin Man,
Who lives in Drury Lane?
Once a teacher asked me, after reading something I wrote,
” where on Earth do you get your ideas from?”
and I said
” From the Muffin Man “
Sure.
It was a creepy answer
but it was also a pretty stupid thing to say to a 14 year old.
Still.
When I start a writing project I think of it as a visit to
The Muffin Man.
And you?
