Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run!
They all run after the farmer's wife,
And she cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did ever you see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice!
Beautiful poem with amusing expression. This poem is specially for children to read and enjoy.
after farmer's wife THREE BLIND MICE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! it's allegorical
If they are blind, how can they run after the farmer's wife? How do they know where she is? Why does she cut off their tails? Much better to cut of their heads, yes?
This is a miserable children's poem which always gave me nightmares-
This is the very first poem I remember hearing as a child and then learning it word for enchanting word. Thank you Beatrix Potter and sleep and rest well.
