Question of the Day: What poem do you have committed to memory?
One fine day
In the middle of the night
Two dead boys
Got up to fight
Back to back
They face each other
Drew their swords
And shot each other
A deaf policeman
Heard the noise
And came and killed
The two dead boys
If you don't believe
This lie is true
Just ask the blind man
For he saw it too

@Pat_Walrond I've had that memorized since I was a kid. No idea why it is still permanently in my memory. 😂
@GaryPoole Some things are like that. Mine are
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
No doubt you have heard the name before —
Was a boy who never would shut a door!
The wind might whistle, the wind might roar,
And teeth be aching and throats be sore,
But still he never would shut the door.
The rest of it is mostly lost in the mists of time, but those lines I've never forgotten.
