Dum Dee Dum Dumb
Said Tweedle Dee to Tweedle Dum
Perhaps the time has finally come,
For us to pick out different names,
And stop our playing at childish games.
Dum was sure that he couldn’t agree more,
And the reason was far too big to ignore.
Having names that made people delirious,
Meant that no one ever took them too serious.
So they decided that neither would speak
Until they met on the coming week
And then the two would happily share
The names that each would pick for the pair.
Then said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee,
What names have you picked for you and me?
Whatever they are I will protest
As the names I’ve chosen I’m sure are the best.
Said Dee to Dum if that’s the case
Let’s share the names face to face.
Standing nose to nose Dum said to Dee
Let’s say them both on the count of three.
And when the count was said and done,
They both said Tweedles Dee and Dum.
It seems Dum had wished to be Dee,
And the opposite went for Dee you see.
So now they are happy with their names,
And they’re playing again at childish games.
The choice they made you must agree
Was the perfect solution for Dum and Dee.
