The three little kittens want pie, but they’ve lost their mittens.
McClintock has taken the original nursery rhyme and added backstory and dialogue. Unfortunately the nursery rhyme is mixed in with other dialogue and actions, so while sometimes you have the rhymes, they are interrupted by the other dialogue. Had all of the original been set apart so that is was recognizable, that might have helped, instead, it is a bit of a mess.
