Twenty Two Wishes Granted -- video;
[ And tonight on Things Luca Does Instead Of Sleep Like He's Told: He has apparently made his escape into the library, and can be seen surrounded by different kinds of books, mostly those for children. However, the one he holds up doesn't have the bright colors and silly drawings the others mostly have. It's just a plain black book, and he rises from his stomach to sit criss-cross in front of the NV, opening it. ]
I was lookin' at the books an' I found the poetry. An' then I found this one!
[ He speaks slowly, and while his reading has greatly improved in the almost-year he's been learning, he still stumbles over words and has to stop to sound them out on occasion. ]
"One bright day 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
Came to stop those two dead boys.
But if you doubt my lies are true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it too!"
[ and then he closes it. ]
But that doesn't make any sense! Everythin's opposite. You can't fight if you're dead, or face each other if you're not, and you can't shoot with a sword.
So I think the guy who wrote it was really, really drunk.
[ ooc; The poem is question is actually a Nonsense Poem called Two Dead Boys, and the author is unknown. It was a poem written to purposely contradict itself for the sake of amusement. Luca read an abridged version (That anyone's whose seen A Haunting in Connecticut might recognize, but it's been abridged before that), but the full thing can be found here. ]
