THREE BLIND MICE

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 sight in your life
As three blind mice?

Three decrepit rodents. Three decrepit rodents.
Observe how they motivate. Observe how they motivate.
They all pursued the agriculturist's spouse
Who cut off their appendages with a culinary cleaver.
Have you ever witnessed such a phenomenon in your existence
As three decrepit rodents?

Three myopic rodents. Three myopic rodents.
Observe how they perambulate. Observe how they perambulate.
They all circumnavigated the agriculturist's significant other
Who amputated their extremities with a carving utensil.
Did you ever observe such an occurrence in your existence
As three myopic rodents?

Three rodents with serious visual impairments.
Three rodents with serious visual impairments.
Notice the manner in which they perambulate.
Notice the manner in which they perambulate.
They all pursued the agriculturist's spouse
Who dissected their caudal appendages with a carving utensil.
Have you previously witnessed a spasm of events in your era
Similar to three rodents with serious visual impairments?

Overall Meaning

The song "Three Blind Mice" is a popular nursery rhyme that tells the story of three blind mice and their unfortunate encounter with the farmer's wife. The repetition of the song's first two lines draws the listener in and sets the tone for the rest of the song. The mice are described as blind and are shown to be somewhat helpless as they run after the farmer's wife. The farmer's wife, in turn, is seen as powerful, able to cut off their tails with a carving knife. The lyrics create a sense of sympathy for the mice, as they are forced to suffer due to their blindness and lack of awareness.


The song can be interpreted in various different ways. It could be seen as a children's song that simply tells a story of anthropomorphic animals. Alternatively, it could be interpreted as a commentary on power dynamics and the mistreatment of those who are seen as weaker or less privileged. The repetition of the opening lines may also suggest a cycle of violence, where the mice continue to run after the farmer's wife even after seeing the fate of their predecessors.


Overall, "Three Blind Mice" is a timeless song that has been enjoyed by generations of children. Its catchy melody and simple lyrics have made it a staple in primary schools and households around the world.
