Okay, now I'm perplexed. I used both Google & Wikipedia searching using various lines from the ditty and neither one showed anything except someone's personal page or blog or something where a gal quotes the same stanza in a slightly different version. Over the years I've come across this thing in many variations. I was sure there was a second "stanza". It doesn't matter, isn't important, but now that both Google and Wiki have let me down I'm perplexed!

Thanks. I didn't forget them--I never knew them. That's too bad because they seem to raise an important point about self-referential statements, á là the Liar Paradox, Russell's paradox about class membership, etc. That's no doubt how Erin got into philosophy.
