A horrific crime has taken place in Mother Goose Land

"The Farmer’s Wife Behind Bars”

Everyone living in Nursery Rhyme County, just heard of the terrible news,
The Farmers Wife was arrested this morning, they say murder is what she’s accused.

At Humpty Dumpty Hospital the press had arrived,
with cameras at every position. A crowd has gathered awaiting to hear of the Three Blind Mice’s medical condition.

Many hours had passed, when a doctor came out
explaining there’s no need to worry,
His surgical success was due to the fact the
police found those tails in a hurry.

A lawyer then followed to address the crowd
of onlookers who stood there in shock,
That he represents our three victims from
the law firm of Hickory, Dickory, & Dock.

Flashbulbs popped and flickered, as he announced there’s a witness to this crime,
His statement will keep the farmers wife
behind bars for a very long time.

He wrote how they fought a courageous battle once her crazy attack had begun,
What amazed him most was their quickness,
his last sentence... “You should see how they run!”
