THREE BLIND MICE

a stonnet (a sonnet that tells a well-known story)

Back to Main Stonnets Index

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?

They swaggered in, a vicious gang of three,

with gangsta shades and plastic canes of white,

it's doubtful that they really couldn't see,

they ran too fast to suffer lack of sight!

 

A scam to beg donations at the farm,

they went too far and chased the farmer's spouse,

she ran into the kitchen in alarm

to find a weapon suitable for mouse.

 

A carving knife looked good, all shiny clean,

and razor sharp - she'd had it honed last week,

she turned to face the mice, her eyes turned mean,

and suddenly there came a triple "Eeeek!"

 

The gang was fortunate, her aim was poor,

so only tails were left upon the floor...
