Hey, Eugene!

That's the first time I heard that Annie was the one with the steamboat. I've heard about Miss Suzie or Miss Susie, Miss Lucy, Miss Molly, Miss Mary, and I think I also heard about Miss Sally, having a steamboat {or a tugboat or even a sailboat}. But Annie?? Hey, why not? :o}

With regard to "teacher hit me with a ruler" if you're interested in reading some other examples of what I call "teacher taunts", check out this Mudcat thread: thread.cfm?threadid=2795#1441821 "Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, I Bit the Teacher's Toe!"

Also, there's a number of "___ had a steamboat" rhymes on the schoolyard games page of this website:

I also have some examples of "Miss Susie Had A Steamboat" on the Handclap & Jumprope Rhymes page of my website.
