One dark night

[BigAlOfMD]

One dark night, when the moon was shining bright.
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other drew they're knives and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise and came and shot those two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man he saw it too

Interesting..........I will have to think about this verse,  for a while.

Free admission, pay at the door,
plenty of seating, sit on the floor...

Carolyn has a ton of verses for that one...

It somewhat resembles testimony at a crime scene investigation.

The version I remember:

Ladies and gentlemen
Hobo's and tramps
Cross eyed mosquitoes
And bow legged ants
I stand up before you
I sit down behind you
I tell you a story
I know nothing about

One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
They drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policemen hear the noise
Came and killed the two dead boys
If you don't believe me
Ask the blind man across the street
He saw it all!

This thread reminded me of something my father used to say
so fast it would make my head spin. Well, it made me remember
enough to google up this facsimile:

Why are fire trucks red?

Fire trucks are red because bricks are red, too.
2+2=4.
4x3 is 12
There are 12 inches in a ruler.
Queen Elizabeth was a ruler.
She ruled the 7 seas.
Fish are in the seas.
Fish have fins.
Fins attacked the russians.
Fire trucks are rushin'

I know you believe you understand what you think I said

But...

I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant

  It is a minor mis-construsion of the major aprehension on your part.
  SO , I fail to articulate for fear I may deviate from the true course of restitude.

You're a poet, and your feet show it, 'cause their Longfellow's.


He offered his honor, she honored his offer, and all night long, he was on her and off her.

There are lots and lots of people who are always asking things, like dates, and pounds, and ounces, and the names of funny kings.  So, Pooh and I go whispering and Pooh looks very bright, and says: "Well, I say six pence. But I don't believe I'm right."  And then it doesn't matter what the answer ought to be, 'cause if he's right, I'm right.  And if he's wrong, it isn't me.  -- A. A. Milne
