#1 Oxymoron

I learned this when I was 10 or so. It was a poem in some book or a game on the computer. hmm..

One bright 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 came to arrest the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this story is true, ask the blind man as he saw it too.

:iceslolan well, I love it.

I always liked the phrase ' "I see" said the blind man to the deaf man who heard it all.' But yours is good as well.

:dogpile:

:lol:

18 still his clever self... :D

Like it though!!! :lol2:

I remember a friend telling me that one and this one back when I was in Middle school. Wonder exactly what they're from?

Castle of Doctor Brain? I don't recall if that poem was in it, but it was an awesome game nonetheless.

I remember that. But, it was a little different

One bright 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 had to shoot the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man as he saw it too.


Thanks for the recall :smile:

just searched google...apparently, there are several versions.

one bright day in the middle of the night,
two dead boys got up to fight,
one was blind the other couldn't see,
how they fought was a mystery,
back to back they faced each other,
Drew there swords and shot each other,
a deaf policemen head the noise,
came to rescue the two dead boys,
and if you don't belleve me,
ask the blind lady on the corner who saw it all!

One bright 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 ran to save the two dead boys.
And if you don't believe it's true,
go ask the blind man, he saw it too.

The famous speaker who no one had heard of said:
Ladies and jellyspoons, hobos and tramps,
cross-eyed mosquitos and bow-legged ants,
I stand before you to sit behind you
to tell you something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday, which is Good Friday,
there's a Mother's Day meeting for fathers only;
wear your best clothes if you haven't any.
Please come if you can't; if you can, stay at home.
Admission is free, pay at the door;
pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
It makes no difference where you sit,
the man in the gallery's sure to spit.
The show is over, but before you go,
let me tell you a story I don't really know.
One bright day in the middle of the night,
two dead boys got up to fight.
(The blind man went to see fair play;
the mute 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 and killed 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.
If you don't believe this lie is true,
ask the blind man; he saw it too,
through a knothole in a wooden brick wall.
And the man with no legs walked away.

I feel really stupid but...I don't get it? :screwy:

I feel really stupid but...I don't get it? :screwy:
The comments contradict themselves.

Haha :lol2: :lol2:

I feel really stupid but...I don't get it? :screwy:
