I don't know what the next line will say
I'm just typing away.
Some days I like to write new songs
that no one else can sing along.
Other days I like to do impossible things like..
Watch the wind blow
Stop thinking
Make the spouse happy
Mock the Mockingbird
Worry about nothing
Make mountains out of molehills
Cross bridges I haven't come to
Count unseen chickens
Echo a silent comment
Feel for you
Have a heart to heart talk.
I mean really now if you think of literally trying to do some of these things you may laugh with me.

Ok this reminds me of something my dad taught me when I was younger.
One bright day in the middle of the night two dead men got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other, drawed their swords and shot each other.
And if you don't believe that, go ask the blind man on the corner. He saw it too.
The blind man perhaps picked up his hammer and saw.
or at least that's what the mute told the deaf man who told it to me.
So you've heard it before. (?) :)
Yes I've heard something similar. There was something about 24 robbers came knocking at the door too. It was like 40 years ago we repeated it as kids. Don't know where we first heard it.
That was a jump rope song.
Not last night, but the night before 24 Robbers came knocking at my door. As I ran out (Run out of the jump rope), They ran in (Run back in the jump rope and start jumping again). I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said:
Spanish dancer turn around (turn ½ turn each time you jump),
Spanish dancer touch the ground, (touch ground once when you are jumping), Spanish dancer give a high kick (kick in the air once),
Spanish dancer get out before you miss (get out of the jump rope)
If you stay in, someone yells "Hot Potatoes" and then they (they ones holding the rope)start turning the rope real fast and someone counts to see how many "hot potatoes" you do.
