Finally Found IT!

Since the day I watched the movie "The Haunting in Connecticut" I couldn't erase from my mind the nursery rhyme which was mentioned in the said movie.


It goes like this:
“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 came and killed 
Those two dead boys”

Since then, I wanted to see the full text of this creepy rhyme. That's why I am so glad that I have finally found the whole version of the rhyme. It is entitled "TWO DEAD BOYS".


TWO DEAD BOYS

Ladies and gentlemen, hoboes and tramps,
Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants,
I come before you to stand behind you,
To tell you something I know nothing about.
One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back-to-back they faced one another,
Drew their swords and shot each other. 
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, crazy... 
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, CRAZY! 
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!”
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, crazy... 
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, CRAZY! 
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and shot the two dead boys. 
A paralyzed donkey walking on by,
Kicked the copper right in the eye,
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, crazy... 
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, CRAZY! 
Sent him through a rubber wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all. 
Now, if you don't believe this lie is true,
Just ask the blind man -- he saw it, too!
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, crazy... 
Boom-boom, what a crazy world, CRAZY!

I'll dare my self to know it  by heart by the end of the year.

CREEPINESS OF CHILDHOOD

As a child, I am not exposed with much nursery rhymes. I could not even say that I have memorized one before. Because I never did. However, as I grow up I became fond of everything to do with children especially songs, rhymes and folktales.  Now, I would like to post series of things concerning children stuff. The first one would be of the Creepiness of Childhood. I chose this because I am quite scared or afraid of the things being mentioned or left unsaid in poems and rhymes for children. Now, the CREEPINESS OF CHILDHOOD shall begin. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I shall die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen. (I would not suggest for a young child to pray this because this is quite creepy. I would like to pray to thank GOD first before I ever say these things.) Jack and Jill Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of wat...

A Bit of Art : LARA

Image
         Yesterday, I thought I would just be having my typical school day with school works and quizzes to prepare for. I was at the middle of writing a paper when a school official(I don't know his name but his familiar) in our school entered the classroom and announced that our section was required by our teacher to attend an event which was about to be held at that time in one of the school's heritage building. And I went there together with my classmates. When we arrived at the venue of the event which was only about twenty meters away, I realized that the event was an art exhibit. There was a log book which was presented to us by a coordinator where we could sign up our names before the event starts. After signing my name I settled into a chair with several other students. Few minutes later, many people arrived and some of them were greeting each other cordially. Teachers, students, there were also two or three alumni from our school and some peop...
