A tiny, nonsensical sketch of a man who lives in a little house and fishes in other people's ditches. Its short, tidy rhyme is easy to remember and quick to repeat.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Little Tommy Tittlemouse
Lived in a little house;
He caught fishes
In other men's ditches.
