One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night by Anonymous

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight,
They lived on the corner, in the middle of the block,
On the second floor of a vacant lot.
One was blind and the other couldn’t, see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout “hooray!”
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to arrest the two dead boys,
A paralysed donkey passing by,
Kicked the blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,
A mute onlooker shrieked in fright
And a lame man danced at the ghastly sight
If you don’t believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!
