By Gum!
“I see”, said the blind man, (shutting his eye),
“That purple elephants can fly”.
“I hear”, spoke the deaf man, (stopping his ears),
“That marmalade is bad for bears”.
“I say”, signed the dumb man, (with folded arms),
“You can’t catch blue whales without tharms”.
As these three savants innocently sat
Debating so sagaciously,
The purple-orange blue gum tree
Shading them fell, truncating their chat flat!.
