What's Wrong With This Poem? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Today my teacher told us this poem:

One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight.
They stood back to back and stared at each other
They pulled out swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard all of the noise
And killed both of the dead boys.

See if you can find what's wrong with it!

One bright day in the middle of the night - How can the middle of the night be a bright day?

Two dead boys got up to fight. - If they are, they can't fight!

They stood back to back and stared at each other - With their backs to eachother, they cannot stare!

They pulled out swords and shot each other. - Cannot shoot a person with a sword...

A deaf policeman heard all of the noise - If he's deaf, he can't hear noises.

And killed both of the dead boys. - If they are dead, why bother killing them?

My dad told me that poem when i was like 7... but I heard it slightly different than yours...but it's basically the same thing.....

One fine day in the middle of the night
Two deads guys got up to fight
Back to back, they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
If you don't belive the storys' true,
Ask the blind man, he saw it too

Yep, that's what I would say too.

My brother told me that poem cept it went like this~

One fine day in the middle of the night
Two deads boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard all of the noise
And killed both of the dead boys
If you dont belive the storys true
Ask the blind man he saw it too
