Challenge 2 - Identify this popular nursery rhyme!

A triumvirate of murine rodents
totally devoid of ophthalmic acuity
was observed in a state of rapid locomotion
in pursuit of an agriculturalist's uxorial adjunct.
Said adjunct then performed a triple caudectomy
utilizing an acutely honed bladed instrument
generally used for subdivision of edible tissue.
