Who's On First

it's been
so often
done and
did but it
always in
whatever
form is

listening
to Saint-

asking what
is the score
i've never
heard this
before

you know

this one?

what?

that one


which one
is this one?

you know
that one

and Abbot
and Costello
live on and 
on and on and...

One of my favourite skits. ;0) Who’s my favourite. So glad he made it to first.

The same shtick Mel Brooks used several times as well as many others in homage. Thanks Richard.
