are you sure?

"Are you sure?"
"Sure I'm sure,"
"But do you
know you're right?"
"Of course!"
"Oh yeah!?" How do you
know you are right?"
"I know because I tossed a coin.
I said, "head's it'll be this,
tails, it'll be that,"
Then I reached into a rabbit and
pulled out a hat.
I looked all around to see if I could see
If anyone else could see if they could see me,
I tossed the coin high
as high as the sky
It landed and rolled up
To a color-wheel pie
There it stood up
Straight up on it's edge
So I had to go kick it out
And off of the ledge.
It landed with a plop in a pot of porridge then
To pull it outta there woulda been a turrible sin,
So I took out two straws, a long one and a short
Took them to the king, took them to the court;
The short one came up the winner you see
And that's how the right choice was given to me!
