Two Dead Boys

Here's one my uncle Dale used to recite.

One bright morning 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 killed those two dead boys.
A paralyzed donkey walking by,
Kicked the copper in the eye,
Sent him through a rubber 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!)

katiegrrl1016 over on tumblr is looking for an example of an AU/All-Human Spuffy fic that was turned into general romance novel for her graduate thesis. Being more of a Spander and Giles/Ethan fan, I don't have any recs but I thought I'd boost the signal.
