OK now just for the record I had in fact remembered the whole thing as Andy describes it so Steve, would have replied but I've been off the web for a bit.
So, here's the thing - how many OTHER people can still recite "a rabbit had a habit" and how would we find out?
Incidentally,
This poem was written by Georgia Roberts Durston in 1904
There was once a rabbit
Developed the habit,
Of twitching the end of his nose.
His sisters and brothers
And various others
Said, "Notice the way that it goes".
Now one clever bunny
Said, "That's very funny,
I'll practise it down in the dell".
The rest said, "If he can,
I'm positive we can".
And did it remarkably well.
Now all the world over,
Where rabbits eat clover,
And burrow and scratch with their toes,
There isn't a rabbit,
Who hasn't the habit,
Of twitching the end of its nose.
Is this evidence of plagiarism?
If you google "a rabbit had a habit" you also learn that Amazon have 3 used and new Vibratex Rabbit Habbit Vibrators listed. Used and new? Who'd buy a used one?
You also find that if you go here, http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/dead-rabbits-sydney-man-charged-with-bestiality/2005/08/12/1123353482292.html
the Australian Rabbit Habit is a much darker thing indeed.
Can't stop, I'm off to remember something trivial
