found this in my son's blog...like him, i appreciate good writing
-------------
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 to rescue two dead boys
if you don't believe this lie is true
ask the blind man, he saw it too

dunno who the writer is! anyone knows?

ENJOYED it tremendously.
If no1 wants to claim ownership, Desiderata won't mind.
Meanwhile, I share one of my own, esp for the YoungOnes:
Thank you!
When Auntie gives you a cookie
You learnt from young to say "Thank you!"
When you are handed a red packet on New Year's Day
You wish the giver: "Happy New Year, thank you!"
When Boss gives you a raise
You gush: "Thank you, thank you!"
So one is taught civil behaviour
At school, at work and at the dinner table
Also, Elders beseech you:
If someone slaps you on the left cheek
Please turn him your right cheek
But I wouldn't advise you thus
In my wisdom gotten in golden years
I would beseech you,shout back:
"No, no thanks!
I don't fire blanks!"
