Jack Horntip Folklore: Crazy? I Was Crazy Once (recitation) (27) RE: Folklore: Crazy? I Was Crazy Once (recitation) 05 Jul 23


"I laughed so hard I thought I'd die.
I did die.
They buried me, and a flower grew on my grave.
The roots grew down and tickled me.
I laughed so hard I thought I'd die.
I did die…"

Brunvand, Jan Harold. The Study of American Folklore: An Introduction. pg 118. 1968.
