Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: 3 Blind Mice

or...Where's the SPCA when you need 'em? A farmer's wife who was not very nice Mutilated a trio of disabled mice. Each squeaked for its life As she wielded her knife And disencumbered them all of their tails in a trice.

Love the refurbished tail. HEEHEE. seriously, a brilliant write. Will you be putting a book together of refurbished nursery rhymes?

Thank you, Jerry. If I ever get enough of them written to make up a book, that is certainly a possibility.

Thanks, Tom. Why not? It seems to me there's a "dearth" of humor on this site these days.
