Ladies
and Gentlemen, skinny
and stout,
I'll tell you
a tale I know nothing
about;
The
Admission is free, so pay
at the door,
Now pull up
a chair and sit on the floor.
One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight;
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords
and shot each other.
A blind man came to watch fair play,
A mute man came to shout "Horray!"
A deaf policeman heard the noise
and
Came to stop those two dead boys.
He lived on the corner in the middle of the block,
In
a two-story house on
a vacant lot;
A man with no legs came walking by,
and kicked the lawman in his thigh.
He crashed through
a wall without making
a sound,
into
a dry creek bed
and suddenly drowned;
The long black hearse came to cart him
away,
But he ran for his life
and is still gone today.
I watched from the corner of the big round table,
The only eyewitness to facts of my fable;
But if you doubt my lies are true,
Just
ask the blind man, he saw it too.
