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 Date: 10/10/2023 6:51:00 PM Love the refurbished tail. HEEHEE. seriously, a brilliant write. Will you be putting a book together of refurbished nursery rhymes? Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 10/11/2023 10:26:00 AM Thank you, Jerry. If I ever get enough of them written to make up a book, that is certainly a possibility.

Jim Slaughter Date: 10/10/2023 10:50:00 AM Thanks, Tom. Why not? It seems to me there's a "dearth" of humor on this site these days.
