I doubt you will find that answer. Possible European in Nature as it deals with the wit of language and they are well known for that.

It is also a form of Non-Sensory Writing or Nonsenseary Writing like the following

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight, 
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,

One was blind and the other couldn't, see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

A paralysed donkey passing by,
Kicked the blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to arrest the two dead boys,
If you don't believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!


Or a verse from a recent movie

"as I was walking up the stair,
I met a Man who wasn't there,

I met him there again today,
I wish I wish he'd go away"

and a New one I just discovered which is just silly

Ladies and jelly spoons, hobos and tramps,
Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants,
I stand before you to sit behind you
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday, which is Good Friday,
There’s a Mother’s Day meeting for fathers only.
Wear your best clothes if you haven’t any.
Please come if you can’t; if you can, stay at home.
Admission is free; pay at the door.
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
It makes no difference where you sit;
The man in the gallery’s sure to spit.
The show is over, but before you go,
Let me tell you a story I don’t really know.

none of these are my works and I don't take credit for any of them but the authors names could also not be found.

Not too sure I blame the author(s) for not signing them. [8D]

Truth in Googling, heh:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigonish_(poem)

The original poem, from the play by Hughes Mearns. (Was about a haunted house in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. The poem got printed in a newspaper and became a popular song.

None of this is My fault!
