So I did a little searching. Only find reference to it in a book titled Linguistics for Beginners by W. Terrence Gordon. Google books would not display the page that had the poem on it. Description and reviews I saw on Amazon seem interesting and like it might be good for some of my budding English majors in my high school classes. I found a copy on half.com for $8 with shipping. I'll give you the text of the poem when the book gets here.
