text: I think this is a scots poem, \n\n# One fine day in the middle of the night,\n# Two dead boys* got up to fight, [*or men]\n# Back to back they faced each other,\n# Drew their swords and shot each other,\n\n# One was blind and the other couldn't, see\n# So they chose a dummy for a referee.\n# A blind man went to see fair play,\n# A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"\n\n# A paralysed donkey passing by,\n# Kicked the blind man in the eye,\n# Knocked him through a nine inch wall,\n# Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,\n\n# A deaf policeman heard the noise,\n# And came to arrest the two dead boys,\n# If you don't believe this story’s true,\n# Ask the blind man he saw it too!
