A drunk tripped and fell
Into the vacant boulevard
The drunk jammed his feet against the curb
And there he fell fast asleep
Upon the building's roof were drunken gawkers gawking
They, one and all, begged the sleeping drunk
Don't jump, don't jump, don't jump

Ha! Ha! ... gotta laugh... leaves you wondering, did he jump from the roof or fall off the curb...my bet is the curb and the gawkers see him standing on a ledge...
