Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?

If you can, get hold of a book called "One Potato, Two Potato: The Folklore of American Children" by Mary and Herbert Knapp. This book was originally published in 1976 and is still in print. It has hundreds of things like this, rope-skipping rhymes, rules of games, jokes and riddles told by children, urban legends repeated by children, and so on - the things that kids learn from one another instead of from adults.

Another good book is "The Prairie Home Companion Folk Song Book" compiled by Marcia and Jon Pankake (foreword by Garrison Keillor) from 1988. It consists of mainly parodies submitted by listeners back when PHC was running its "Department of Folk Song" feature with Peter Ostroushko and others.

Anyone remember "Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts"? "The Worms Crawl In, The Worms Crawl Out"? That's the kind of stuff you'll find in those books.
