The Nonsense Poem

One bright day in the middle of the night,

Two dead boys got up to fight.

Back-to-back they faced one another,

Drew their swords and shot each other.

One was blind and the other couldn't see,

So they chose a dummy for a referee.

A blind man went to see fair play,

A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

A deaf policeman heard the noise,

And came and shot the two dead boys.

A paralyzed donkey walking by,

Kicked the copper in the eye,

Sent him through a nine inch wall,

Into a dry ditch and drowned them all.

(If you don't believe this lie is true,

Ask the blind man -- he saw it too!)

An obsession

Silently I stare at you

You don't know I'm around

I know where you've been

I know where you are bound

I know where you live

I know where you sleep

You don't even know me

But my love for you runs deep

I see you in my dreams

I want me in yours too

I want you to know and love me

But there is no way to tell you

This is how it's going to be

It will, and has never changed

I'll continue to be your stalker

Don't think I'm deranged

I love you but you'll never know

Cause I'm your silent stalker

I'll continue watching you; well...

Until I kill and find another....
