three blind mice

i woke up today and somehow immediately thought of the the nursery rhyme.  so here it is! (ok i had to google the lyrics cause all i could remember was 'three blind mice see how they run'

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?


and did you know that this originated in some religion thing?  apparently the daughter of some king (farmer's wife), who was a staunch catholic, persecuted 3 protestant noblemen (the blind mice)!  power of the internet! and we (ok fine..i) have been happily singing it for the past 20 years.

the melody is admittedly super-catchy though.  and clearly i just woke up.
