Huh. My mother used to quote that all the time. Apparently, they used to quote it quite frequently.
'course, her version is a bit different...
"One dark night in the middle of the day, two dead boys got up to play
back to back, they faced each other, drew their swords, and shot each other.
If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it, too."
Only a bit different, really. Still, sorta' cool to have it come around, like that. Yours was longer, though.
