This poem has 'Ogden Nash' written all over it. I have a book of his works,but i cant find it.

Never heard it before, but it good.

My dad tells me that one!
Don't think its famous thou.
Does my dad know your gramps?

Sounds like some sort of early nursery rhyme, I've never personally heard of it, but a lot of the Victorian illustrated printed books had poems/stories in which 'scary tales' were normal as bed-time reading for young children.

More than a mishap
That's a load of ol' cra-la-la-la-la

All the best Grandads leave us with these questions over what they have said and done! Mine had a scar on his leg which he told me he got fighting off a crocodile in the Nile! It was only when childhood had turned to youth that it became clear to me that he had a cyst removed and the scar was the result of that. No harm done but a great character! In your case I suspect this is famous, written by your grandfather and published worldwide by Yahoo Answers and therefore read and enjoyed by thousands of people. It gave me a great start to my day anyway! Cherish it, and the memory of your Grandfather.
