Hey everybody! I love to help people and I've been the designated advice-giver amongst my friends for years so I've gotten pretty good at it. If I haven't been through it, I know someone who has, so feel free to ask me anything! I just wish I had known about this site when I was younger and needed more advice of my own.

Okay, so does anyone know name of the poem below:
"Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf police men heard the noise and came to see the two dead boys."
I'm not sure about the last line. And I don't really know the rest of the poem, but I know it goes on. Does any one know the name? Or at least the rest of the poem? (link)

It's usually called "Two Dead Boys" or "One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night." There are many versions and it's been attributed to many people over the years. Here is one common version...
One fine 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
One was blind and the other couldn't see
So they chose a dummy for a referee
A blind man went to see fair play
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
A paralyzed donkey passing by
Kicked the blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a 9 inch wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the 2 dead boys
If you don't believe this story's true
Ask the blind man, he saw it, too!
