three blind mice

Apparently, the nursery rhyme we know and love as "Three Blind Mice" is just one verse of a longer saga. Who knew.

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/26060/26060-h/26060-h.htm

Edit: okay, the longer poem appears to be a later addition. From the Wikipedia talk page:

Frederick Warne & Co. published an illustrated children's book by John W. Ivimey entitled The Complete Version of Ye Three Blind Mice, in which Ivimey fleshes the mice out into mischevious characters who seek adventure, have run-ins with an inn-keeper, and are taken in by a farmer, whose wife subsequently chases them from the house, blinding them and removing their tails in the process. The penitent mice seek out a doctor for help, learn a trade, and settle down to a productive life. The story begins,
Three Small Mice
Three Small Mice
Pined for some fun
Pined for some fun
Pined for some fun
They made up their minds to set out to roam;
Said they,"'Tis dull to remain at home,"
And all the luggage they took was a comb,
These three Small Mice.
There's no copyright date that I can find, but Ivimey was born in 1868, and the book is now public domain.

Still reading!
Currently I am reading Kampong Boy by M Ravi. He is a Singaporean human rights lawyer and has defended several people who were sentenced to death. I also read Glass Cathedral by Andrew Koh, about being gay and growing up in Singapore.

I finished Dirt by David Vann, which I must say is a very strange sort of gothic horror-family novel and I also finished Dog Stars by Heller, which was quite well written, end of the world story.

I just bought a used copy of Singapore Grip by Farrell. I'd like to read (if I can find a used copy) Forty Words for Sorrow by Giles Blunt. I also sat in the library for a few hours and read part one of Resident Tourist (comic/graphic novel) by Troy Chin - hope to get back to the library this week and read part 2. I am so sad that I can't have a library card. Only citizens and Perm Residents are allowed to get a card. The library is pretty great - nice selection of books, and great selection of magazines and newspapers - better than the best library in South Africa - but I'm sad about not having a library card.
