Do you remember that poem. My dad used to tell it to me as a kid but I cant remeber the rest of it or who wrote it. I would love to be able to share it with my kids now.

But I thought that there was more to it than that

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.
A deaf policeman heard the noise
and ran to save the two dead boys.
And if you don't believe it's true,
go ask the blind man, he saw it too.

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
A Deaf Policeman, A mile away
Heard the noise and came right away and killed those two dead boys
Ask the Blind Man, he saw it too
Even the Liar, He'll say it's true

The version I learned has an intro, and the policeman arrests them instead of shooting like so many others say:
Ladies and Gentlemen
Beggars and Tramps
Cross-eyed mosquito and bow legged ants
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor
And I'll tell you a story you've never heard before
One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Pulled their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
Came and arrested those two dead boys
If you don't believe my stories true
Ask the blind man he saw it too.

The way I heard it and I believe it was on the Movie, A HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT.
One bright day, in the middle of the night
2 dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew there swords and shot each other
One deaf cop heard the noise
Ran over and shot the 2 dead boys
And if you don't believe this stories true
Ask the blind man he seen it too

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight,
One was blind and the other couldnt see,
So they fought it out for referee,
Back to back they faced each other,
Pulled out their swords and shot each other,
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And he turned and shot those two dead boys,
If you dont believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man, he saw too.

This is how I learned it from my mom as a child in the 60's;
One dark night, in the middle of the day,
Two dead boys got up to play.
Back to back they faced each other,
pulled out knives and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise and
came and killed the two dead boys.
If you don't believe my story is true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it too!
Years and years ago, Someone had about 15 more verses to this, I would love to hear them again!
