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.

Jerry Brotherton October 10, 2023 at 6:51 PM Love the refurbished tail. HEEHEE. seriously, a brilliant write. Will you be putting a book together of refurbished nursery rhymes? Jim Slaughter October 11, 2023 at 10:26 AM Thank you, Jerry. If I ever get enough of them written to make up a book, that is certainly a possibility.
