A man who lived in Leeds

[Jack Reaper]

There was a man who lived in leeds,
He filled his garden full of seeds.
And when those seeds began to grow,
It was like a garden filled with snow.
But when the snow began to melt,
It was like a ship without a belt.(???? That line I don't get!)
And when the ship began to sail,
It was like a bird without a tail.
And when the bird began to fly,
It was like an Eagle in the sky.
And when the sky began to roar,
It was like a lion at my door.
And when the door began to crack,
It was like a pen knife in my back.
And when my back began to bleed,
I was dead,dead,dead indeed!

I heard this poem before - thanks for posting it! I loved it when I first heard it and still do!

My tantalized spirit here blandly reposes, forgetting, or never regretting its roses.

Iscream, you succeeded in driving me crazy today.
I am not feeling well so I did not notice the date of the post.
Good grief!

I am a wreck! I smashed a wine bottle against a rum bottle and had a mess on my hands - I thought of my friends face and I got upset and did not realize what I did! I managed to save half of the rum.
He doesn't miss me at all and that HURTS even more!
