This poem is full of oxymorons
One fine 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.
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 paralysed donkey passing by, kicked the blind man in the eye.
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,Into a dry ditch and drowned them all.
A deaf policeman heard the noise, and came to arrest the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this story's true,Ask the blind man; he saw it too!
Here are some you may find funny:
Plastic lemons, Electric candles, Rubber bones for dogs, Floating soap, China eggs to persuade hens to lay, Solid water (ice), Bricked-up windows, Artificial grass, Wax fruit, Invisible ink,
Glass hammers, Joke rubber coat hooks, Solid wooden bottle molds.
