One Bright Morning Skit
Notes:
This is a monologue poem. It's more fun to tell it in a scary story voice around a campfire.
Script:
I come before you, to stand behind you,
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Admission is free, so pay at the door;
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
Early this morning late last night
Two dead soldiers began to fight.
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A legless donkey passing by
Kicked both men right in the eye.
It knocked them over a 10 foot wall
Into a ditch and drowned them all.
A deaf policeman heard their cries
And came and shot those two dead guys.
If you don't believe this story's true,
Ask the blind man - he saw it too!
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Admission is free, so pay at the door;
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
Early this morning late last night
Two dead soldiers began to fight.
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A legless donkey passing by
Kicked both men right in the eye.
It knocked them over a 10 foot wall
Into a ditch and drowned them all.
A deaf policeman heard their cries
And came and shot those two dead guys.
If you don't believe this story's true,
Ask the blind man - he saw it too!

One bright morning in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys began 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 shot the two dead boys.

I stand before you to stand behind you
to tell you about something I know nothing about:
One bright morning in the middle of the night
two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
pulled out a knife and shot each other.
The deaf policeman heard the noise
and went to kill the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this story is true,
ask the blindman he saw it too!
Oct 06, 2015 - Sandy & Darrell D. DavisI am 77 yrs old, my dad born in 1893 use to say the "One bright morning----when I was a kid. The only differance was about the deaf policeman. Dad told it as "came and arrested those two dead boys." This skit is quite old.

Español) -
Una mañana brillante. Una mañana brillante en medio de la noche, dos chicos muertos salieron a pelear. De espaldas se peleaban, sacaban espadas y se disparaban. Un policía sordo oyó el ruido, y vino y mató a los dos niños muertos.

Ask the blind man, he saw it all

One bright morning 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 ran up to
save the two dead boys. If you dont believe me this story's true.
Ask the blindman- he saw it too 😝
I heard this from my friend

I heard this from my friend
The version I hear was :
Late lastnight in the middle of the day,
Two dead boys went out to play.
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
The deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to rescue the two dead boys.
and if you don’t believe my story’s true,
Ask the blind man! He saw it too

The version my momma taught me LONG LONG LONG TIME AGO... :)
Early in the morning in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys began to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
Pulled out their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and killed those two dead boys.
Now if you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man, he saw it too!

Jan 30, 2021 - George DavisThe ending which I learned after the deaf policeman stirred by the noise,
was "One ran around the corner in the middle of the block and the other
hid in a house on a vacant lot"
Jan 30, 2021 - George DavisIn the poem which starts with;"Ladies and gents" after the colon, I
learned, "Christopher Columbus sailed up the Missoslopy River with the
Star Spangled Banana in one hand and the Declaration of Indigestion in the
other".
Mar 09, 2021 - YourLocalWeebI found this poem on a tik-tok and they said it so well that I played over and over again until I figured it out.
