Who comes walking where were sitting
men making merry meeting of the wise
a head and an eye and two ears to that
two feet he has twelve hundred more heads
a back and a belly and his bony hands
arms and shoulders armed with his sword
and two are his sides Say what his name is.
ok it's obviously a man with one eye with alot of something that is described as heads, lettuce? that's as far as i can get without doing a google search. don't give me the answer yet i will try to work it out a while. lol it's a toughie
