Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub?
How nice to have a puzzle from you, Teresa.

Butcher,baker,the candlestick maker.

Attorney, Solictor and Lawyer in a Spa awaiting a meal? Fun puzzle, Teresa.

See puzzle # 80...

The original went something like this (according to wiki):

Hey! rub-a-dub, ho! rub-a-dub, three maids in a tub,
And who do you think were there?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker,
And all of them gone to the fair.

That must have been some heck of a side show. :-)

From Wikipedia: Some variations

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they were?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
They all sailed out to sea,
'Twas enough to make a man stare.[1]
And:
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
All put out to sea

The top 75 percent of the puzzle completely solved with line logic. I then used edge logic on the bottom row, after which more line logic was all that was necessary.

Thanks, Teresa for the puzzle and the nursey rhyme info...I had forgotten where they went lol!

The title was a dead giveaway, but the solve was fun and the picture is cute. :)

Thanks Teresa for the lots of fun puzzle and the rhyme to go with it! Hope you have more for us.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

I'm imagining The Three Amigos outside a fort (butcher knife/flag) with chimney smoke (pie/building with smoke stream) surrounded by an arid landscape (candlestick/cactus).
