A Minnesota Nonsense Poem

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
decided they would fight.
Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee:
"I know that I am right."
Said Tweedle Dee to Tweedle Dum:
"You cannot get my goat."
Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee:
"I want another vote!"
And so with heavy armor on
and lawyers by the ton
they battled quite ferociously
beneath the setting sun.
The judges watched the battle 'til
they couldn't stand the gore
and then they went to Sleepy Eye
and there began to snore.
The media did egg them on,
just waiting for a scoop.
They got more than they bargained for
in hot air blasts and poop.
The lawyers threw their weight around
and then sent in a bill
that made T. Dum and made T. Dee
considerably ill.
Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee:
"I sure am strapped for cash."
Said Tweedle Dee to Tweedle Dum;
"My wallet is a hash!"
And so the two declared a truce
and took their trusty swords
and went out searching high and low
for golden treasure hoards.
And when they'd robbed the countryside
of every single cent,
they turned upon each other and
to battle gaily went.
But this time no one gave a hoot
about their great affair.
And so they simply stood around
exchanging a cold glare.
For all I know they're standing still
upon that field of green,
Subsisting on a bit of crow
and rancid jelly bean.
