Two By Two Equals Four

Oscar Levant, American Author, Comedian, Music Composer and more, Was born in the early 20th Century and died in the 1970’s Each decade, or era has their comedians – below is one of Mr Levant’s quotes, TWO BY TWO EQUALS FOUR A young couple Clorrita and Dwaine, Decided to spend a holiday in Spain, Both vegans, enjoyed a good radish, But either neither nor, spoke Spanish. They carried masks, heard of an Epidemic, The Spanish Flu could become Pandemic, They lived in Europe on inland terrain, So decided they would travel by train. They asked for a sleeper for four, The ticket officer asked, “Why Senor”, “Well, there is me and I, and she, And my wife, so four we are you see”. They had never thought or planned, People could not understand, When they went out to dine, “A table for four please, will be fine”. Eventually returned home, all so relieved, Even Clorrita and Dwaine heaved, A sigh, people don’t do simple maths anymore, Schizophrenics are two by two equals four! “ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE, I’M SCHIZOPHRENIC AND SO AM I” Fortunately, medicine has advanced incredibly since the 1970’s.
