Hamlet and Muffins

A friend mentioned in her blog that writing English papers seemed to consist of taking a work of literature and some unrelated thing - like Hamlet, and muffins - and relating them.

Didn't Hamlet say nuffin'
About muffins?

After all that huffin' and puffin'
About whether to be or not,
He got awful hungry for something hot -
Namely a muffin with chocolate stuffin'.

Well the good news is that mostly you see couplets here. But I do like rhyme scheme variety, so you will be forced to endure the occasional abba.

In this case, it was apparently:
aa abba

But I could have written it out so it was aa aa bb aa. Like this:
