Three severely myopic rodents -
Diligently note their expeditious perambulations.
Functioning as a social unit, they vigorously pursued the agriculturist's spousal unit
Until said spousal unit peremptorily amputated their caudal appendages with a culinary utensil.
Have you ever had occasion to witness such a spasm of events during your period of mortality
As three optically challenged rodents?

Have you ever seen such a sight in your life
As three blind mice?
