This is one of my favorite poems ever.
Due to the amount of inconsistencies, I love it.
I put my own twist on some of it, its similar to the original.
I changed a few lines and made more inconsistencies,
and took different versions of the poem to make it the best i think it could be.
This poem has no title, many acclaimed authors but no certifiable poet.
(Yes i know its the title tracks of The Fiancee.)
Ladies and Gentiles, Horses and Reptiles
All the people, skinny and stout
I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about;
The admission is free, so pay at the door,
Now pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
One dark night in the middle of the day,
Two dead boys got up to play;
Back to back they faced one another,
They drew their swords and shot each other.
One was blind, and the other could not see,
So they used a dummy for a referee.
A blind man came to watch fair play,
A mute man came to shout "Hooray!"
The deaf Policeman heard the noise
And came to kill the two dead boys.
He lived on the corner in the middle of the block,
In a two-story house on a vacant lot;
A paralyzed mule came walking by,
And kicked the blind man in the eye.
He crashed through a nine-inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all
The long black hearse came to cart him away,
Through the bloody carnage and the united dismay.
I watched from the corner of the big round table,
The only eyewitness to facts of my fable;
But if you doubt my lies are true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it too.
