Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps,
Cock-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants.
I come before you,to stand behind you,
To tell you a story 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 have none.
The admission is free, pay at the door,
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
Here is the story I know nothing about:
One dark 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. When the deaf policeman heard the noise, he got up and shot the two dead boys. If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.
