I'm about to tell you a story I've never heard before, So pull up a chair and sit on the floor. Admission is free, so pay at the door.
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 deaf policeman heard the noise, and saved the lives of the two dead boys.
If you don't believe my lies are true, ask the blind man, he saw it too!
A friend of mine sent me this link about the Rhyme, pretty interesting.
Folklore
My mother had a slightly different version of this she recited from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this. Interesting.
