    Two dead boys (My favorite poem of all time!)
    Ladies and gentleman skinny and scout
    I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about
    The admission is free so pay at the door
    Now pull out a chair and sit on the floor

    On 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

    The blind man came to see fair play
    The mute man came to shout hooray
    The deaf policeman heard the noise
    And came to stop those two dead boys

    He lived on the corner in the middle of the block
    In a two story house on a vacant lot
    A man with no legs came walking by
    And kicked the lawman in his thigh

    He crashed through a wall without making a sound
    Into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned
    A long black hearse came to cart him away
    But he ran for his life and is still gone today

    I watched from the corner of the table
    The only eyewitness to facts of my fable
    If you doubt my lies are true
    Just ask the blind man, he saw it too
    This is my favorite poem. It's by Tyler Rager and I honestly don't know why I love this poem. But ever since I heard it from the movie I just couldn't wait to find it online and read it. When I read it I fell in love with it. <3 Love this poem a lot.

    If you don't believe this lie is true,
    Ask the blind man, he saw it too!!!
    Anyone know who wrote this, or if there are any others
    like it?
