Given hour hands denote the time hourly mice fitted the rhyme heads soon rolled, decapitation extolled in the name of self-defense vengeful murders then made sense. Centuries of rodents fall in line to grandfather clock's repeated chime tails in the rhyme depicted chopped heads when men of the cloth courted instead. When men feigned blindness in jest their rumps were carved at best after a run in with a farmer's wife or a lady of the court heads were sliced by a carving knife a first and last resort! Given clocks faithfully told time one o'clock mice fitted the rhyme the hour struck, the critter dropped a farmer's wife had tails cropped heads then rolled decapitation was extolled. |
