• One fine night in the middle of the day,
    Two dead boys got up to play
    One had a fiddle one had a drum
    One had a pancake stuck to his bum
    Side to side they mirrored each other,
    While the fourth pulled out a stick of butter.


    They lived on a corner,
    In the middle of the block,
    On the second floor of a vacant lot,
    Next to deaf musicians, blind magicians,
    And down the hall, up the wall,
    Lives a rat, whose mom’s a cat.


    And the narrator,
    With his story untold,
    Meekly whispered,
    Loud and bold,
    The beginning words,
    To the meetings end,
    “You my enemy are now my friend”
    He said to a man that hates all others
