A babbling brook
A smooth criminal
A piece of furniture
A clap of thunder
A Universal truth
(Also...can you guess the relationship of these things?)

Wow Silva, you have hooked a good response to this one! Are they your groupies? I sure am a fan of yours.
I’ll have a babbling brook at it
If I get time
But I’m not a smooth criminal
And I haven’t done no crime
Am I a piece of furniture?
Well maybe I’m a chair
Or a clap of rolling thunder
That bursts through stormy air?
A Universal truth?
Man was born to die
Find a link to all these phrases?
Sadly, this time, not I!
The phrases all start with an A
I did start to thing they might be cockney slang but no.
I give up please do tell
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! WOO HOO!

Whats a brook? do you mean a stream or a argument?
Babbling Brook - bubbling steam? Anal Sex (Seriously, it came up in Urban Dictionary) ?A Cook? A Crook?
Well ill take a babbbling brook as a bubbling steam now.
There was once was a smooth criminal who moved as fast as babbling brooks, (sarcasm), creakily he moved into a house, crouching behind a piece of furniture. Its amazing how he noticed not how each step he made resembled a clap of thunder.
Yet, it aint surpising at all. Aint That the universal truth?
I honestly feel that that story is total crap.

Once there was a smooth criminal sitting on an old abandoned piece of furniture next to a babbling brook. He heard a clap of thunder and in an instant what was revealed to him was a Universal truth.
I have no idea what the relationship of these is.

The Little Old Man
The old man went out into the world,
Looking to find some whittling wood;
His little old woman was getting tired,
" Make me a rocking chair, you should".
So he hobbled on out on his little cane,
Hobbled right past the [babbling brook];
He looked at the twigs along the banks,
He looked as long as he could look.
There was nothing there but stones,
Some polished smoother than glass,
If he put them in his old man pocket,
Would he be a [smooth criminal], I ask?
The old man walked on with a limp,
He would not return until he had found
A handful of boards, maybe some twine,
To make [a piece of furniture] that's sound.
As he walked on he began to worry
That he was getting quite far away;
In case of a [clap of thunder] (or things gone asunder!),
He might not get back home today.
Therefore he would have to make do,
With whatever he could find at home,
His little old wife was accident-prone
So he could not leave his old lady alone.
Therefore a [universal truth] came upon him,
So he turned to hobble on back her way,
For why have a chair to rock on,
If your rock had gone and hobbled away?

A babbling brook mistook , the smooth faced criminals looks , for a table , unable to bridge the ridge , the clap of thunder roared,the criminal snored and the brook ignored,the universal truth of youth.
A man with a plan,a river to span,may never no matter how clever , steal a look in the brook and live forever !

A guy walks over a babbling brook, uses the noise to his advantage and walks in front of a store. He sneeks in during the afterhours and snatches a piece of furniture, quietly walking away. (dont ask how he got in, idk how he did!) A clap of thunder frigtens him and he runs off, dropping the tv and all. The smooth criminal was caught, not knowing he tripped an alarm on the way out. The cops stood over him, shining a flashlight in his eyes. You wouldnt think that a doctor would do such a thing, but the universal truth is, we all do what we need to, when we have to.
hahahahah wtf! i just did that for the fun of it. laugh as much as you want at my terrible story.

Even a smooth criminal cannot bridge a babbling brook with a flimsy piece of furniture, they'll go crashing down like a clap of thunder. That's a universal truth.

At a babbling brook, I saw it all
a very smooth crim-in-al.
A piece of furniture was sitting near
but a clap of thunder... disappear.
A universal truth, let it be known
all that was left was a bone.

The barbershop quartet was wrapping up singing "Down by the Old Mill Stream (babbling brook) when a con man (smooth criminal) sidled over to them. Claiming it was once used by the original barbershop quartet, he tried to con them into buying a barber's chair (piece of furniture) he had actually picked up at a junk yard the day before. The oldest member of the group was ecstatic about the price. In fact he even danced The Thunder Clap (a clap of thunder - see wikipedia, it's a real dance) thus proving the old adage that there is no fool like an old fool (universal truth).
I am still trying to figure out the relationship.
