two dead boys got up to fight
back to back they faced each other
drew their swords and shot each other
the deaf policeman heard the noise
and came and shot the two dead boys
If you don't believe this lie is true
ask the blind man
he saw it too.

Hey, that's insensitive to deaf people, blind people AND dead people. A triple header! For shame Mookie, for shame.

Twenty people got under an umbrella, but not one got wet.
Why's that? It wasn't raining.

"I see," said the blind man, to his deaf wife. As he picked up his hammer and saw.

LuLu had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell. The steamboat went to Heaven And LuLu went to Hello, operator. Give me number 9. If you disconnect me I'll kick your big behind the 'frigerator There was a piece of glass LuLu sat upon it And cut her little ask me no more questions I'll tell you no more lies That's what Lulu told me Before she slipped and died. ******************************** THE LITTLE OLD MAN FROM CHINA My mother she told me to open the door But I didn't wanna. I opened the door He fell to the floor The Little Old Man from China. My mother she told me to give him some pork But I didn't wanna. I gave him some pork He swallowed the fork. The Little Old Man from China. My mother she told me to give him a spoon But I didn't wanna. I gave him a spoon He jumped to the moon. The Little Old Man from China. My mother she told me to put him to bed But I didn't wanna. I put him to bed He chopped off his head. The Little Old Man from China. My mother she told me to bury him deep But I didn't wanna. I buried him deep He stuck out his feet. The Little Old Man from China.

MTM-I remember my Dad telling me this when I was a boy. I hadnt thought of it in years. Seems like there were several of these 'opposites' type poems.
Thanks for posting...

Yesterday upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, Oh how I wish he'd go away |

Once upon a time
a goose drank wine the monkey played the fiddle on the streetcar line the streetcar broke the monkey choked and they all went to heaven in a motor boat Just a little something my mom used to say, God rest her soul.
My whole life I've been playing jacks with a square ball.

MTM- That's a song from the mid 60s called I think, 'Clap Clap' by the same person who did 'The Name Game',
except i remember it like this- three, six, nine the goose drank wine the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line the line broke the monkey got choked and they all lived together in a little row boat-clap clap. That's how i remember it AND to Don M435- Yours is a poem by Kay Kyser comic/trumpetist Ish Kabibble! Another IshKabibble poem: ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE I KNOW VIOLET'S ARE BLUE 'CAUSE I SEEN HER HANGIN' 'EM OUT ON THE LINE THE OTHER DAY ONE MORE ISH POEM- SOME FISH ARE FAT AND SOME FISH ARE THIN SOME FISH ARE SHORT AND SOME ARE LONG THEY CANT WALK AND THEY CANT TALK BUT THEY CAN STAY UNDERWATER LONGER THAN ANYBODY! |
