What Did You Say?!?

Ladles and jellyspoons, hobos and tramps,

cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants:

I come before you to stand behind you

to tell you something I know nothing about.

Admission is free, you can pay at the door;

pull up a chair and sit on the floor.

I stand upon this speech to make a platform

(the train I arrived in has not yet come),

so I took a bus and walked back home

one fine day in the middle of the night,

when two dead boys got up to fight.

Back to back they faced each other,

drew their swords and shot each other.

A paralyzed donkey walking by

kicked a blind man in the eye --

knocked him through a 9 inch wall

into a dry ditch; he drowned them all.

A deaf policeman heard the noise,

and came and shot those two dead boys.

If you don't believe this lie that's true,

ask the blind man -- he saw it too!

Ever feel like this some days? Like everything you say comes out wrong? You say one thing and people hear another? People hear what they want to, and, unfortunately, that means that they will take things you say the wrong way. My advice? Say what you mean and mean what you say!


Salut!
