It started with three blind mice
one went to consult an ophthalmologist
quickly got cured and ran happily after the farmer's wife
leaving two blind comrades in the list--

that generous creature persuaded
the other two to do the same
provided full details including
the doctor's qualifications and name--

mouse number two rushed
to the eye-clinic
and told the doctor
'my eyes are sick'--

the good doctor had a string of degrees
managed to save 90% of number two's sight
it leapt for joy, the saviour he thanked from its heart
and exclaimed: 'Now I know the sun is bright!'

this left only one blind mouse
a hypochondriac it was--truly
it begged the other two to accompany it
and said: ' Please don't leave me'--

its condition was bad
it had advanced cataract
but the doctor was world-class
the little fellow recovered 70% from his skilful act.

no longer 'the three blind mice'
'running after the farmer's wife'
they ran away from their old home
and enjoyed happy days throughout their life.
