Writers often attempt to demonstrate their dexterity with language by using overly inflated words. Below is one example, which would be much more effective with less pompous words. How would YOU rephrase it?
A trio of rodents with defective eyesight,
Observe how they perambulate rapidly.
They all pursued the agriculturist's spouse.
She dismantled their appendages with a carving utensil.
Have you ever witnessed such an exhibition in your existence
As a trio of rodents with defective eyesight?

My Stars Wars fan son is going to love that squirrel picture.
Three Blind Mice!
I guessed it was three blind mice, but silly me can't remember the lines in the middle, something about cutting tails off... I have such a poor memory!
They all ran after the farmer's wife, she cut off their tails with a carving knife... that part? So gruesome!
Dewey, tell your Star Wars fan son about this site (take out any spaces):
