Here is another little diddy that my Grandpa used to say. Its essentially just a really goofy story, but I put some music to it that I feel fits the overall mood of the rhyme. Here are the lyrics and a download link.
Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps;
Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants;
I come here before you, directly behind you;
To tell you a story, I know nothing about
This Thursday which is Good Friday, there will be a convention;
In the women’s club, which is strictly for men;
Admission is free so pay at the door;
Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor
It was a cold summer day in winter;
The snow was raining fast;
As a barefooted boy with shoes on;
Stood sitting in the grass
It was a bright sunny day, in the dead of night;
Two dead boys got up to fight;
Three blind men to see fair play;
Forty four minutes to yell hooray
Back to back, they faced each other,
Drew their swords, and shot each other;
A deaf policeman, heard the noise;
And came and arrested those two dead boys
