A Fool's Duel

If er' a fool, there was, there was,
If er' a fool there was...

I'd promptly pat him on the shoulder and say: "I was there once, I was, I was. Once I was there, I was"

And since I was there, and you were too, I'd tell the fool - "You'll do!"

"As nary a fool where once was had, there now appears to be two!"
