random thoughts

Ladies and Germs,
Beeltes and Worms,
I come before you
and not behind you.
I come to tell you about something
I know nothing about.

Last night
at three o'clock this morning
an empty wagon
loaded with bricks
ran over a dead cat
and killed it.

If you don't believe
this lie is true,
just ask the blind man,
for he saw it, too.

(No idea who wrote this, but it's something that Dad would make us recite when we were driving in the car -- anywyere.)

Explanation to the second para:

Last night
at three o'clock this morning

It was night here but morning in some other part of the world!

an empty wagon
loaded with bricks

the wagon was empty of gas or petrol

ran over a dead cat
and killed it

a cat has nine lives :-)

Exactly -- I knew it was something like that (although I've never heard those tags).

Thanks!
