Lyr Req: Poor old Nelson is dead

With Reafalgar day approaching, I wouldlike to reconstruct a nonsense song about Nelson I knew as a child.
One verse wenr
Poor old Nelson is dead,
Poor old Nelson is dead,
He slipped on some soap
and broke his telescope
Poor old Nelson is dead,


Each verse had the same line4s 1,2 and 5, and a couplet in the middle. Ring any bells?

Oh well, guess no-one else remembers it, I'm sure I didn't dream it!

Not really a song, more like just a chant, but a similar structure to yours, we had the second one here:

In 1944
Hitler went to war
He went to France
And lost his pants
In 1944
