really confusing poem
#1
ok this poem makes absolutely no sence so here it is...
one bright day in the middle of the night, 2 dead boys got up to fight. Face to face and back to back, they drew their swords and shot each other. Then the deaf policeman heard the noise and came to shoot the two dead boys. If you don't think this lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.

It is a parody of the human condition... It draws the parallels between the Yin and Yang forces and forces us to confront our inner demons...
Good story

My grandpa has told me this since as long as I can remember, but he said "back to back they faced one another" not "back-toback-and face-to-face"

this may never get read, dad told me this story when i was but a wee lad....
one dark day in the middle of the night, 2 dead boys got up to fight. Back to Back, they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise, he came and shot those 2 dead boys. If you don't belive my story is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.
Just my slightly different version

Funny how many variations there are, I learned it as:
One bright morning, in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight.
They faced each other back to back,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
and came and shot the two dead boys.
If you don't believe my lie is true, ask the blindman, he saw it too.
