Rodent meets with untimely end. Thanks in advance.

What about the Three Little Kittens who lost their Mittens - in the final part they smell a rat nearby.

Hickory Dickory Dock

[FoxLee2]

But does the mouse come to a sticky end in that? Saw rodent, thought rat, forgot about mice. What about the 3 Blind Mice - they had their tails cut off?

It looks as if we should be looking for a SINGLE rodent.

Run rabbit run...

[bhg481]

I suggested Hickory Dickory Dock because of the link to "timely".

The spoof version has:

...
...
the clock struck one
and the mouse was beaten to death by the machinery.

[Jackdaw33]

I now incline to bhg's answer.

[kettledrum]

I wonder if the clue should have been 'Rodents meet ....'. I agree that 'untimely' suggests the clock.

The question says , Rodent meets with (Un) timely end . and not as the poster of the question says Rodent meets with untimely end. This should gived you the clue to the answer you require
