Peephole in a Barbed Wire Fence

I'm not sure the origin of this tale, but as my grandfather used to say:


"Peephole in a Barbed Wire Fence"

The famous speaker who no one had heard of said:
Hear ye, hear ye!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Hobos and Tramps,
Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants
I stand before you to sit behind you
To tell you something I know nothing about:

Next Thursday, which is Good Friday
There'll be a Ladies Meeting strictly for men
Free Admission so pay at the door
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor
Now the show is over, but before I go, 
Let me tell you a story I don't really know:

One bright day, in the middle of the night 
Two dead boys got up to fight.
One was blind and the other couldn't see, 
So they used a Mummy for a referee
Back to back; they faced each other; 
Pulled out their swords and shot one another.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and killed the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true...
Ask the blind man; he saw it too!"
