Who wrote this?

It was a bright October morning in September last July,The flowers were singing sweetly and the mud shone in the sky,The sun lay thick upon the ground the birds were full in bloom,When I went down the cellar to sweep an upstairs room.

My Mum used to say that nonsense rhyme years ago and I often wonder where it came from.Anyone know?

Google the Canadian humorist, Stephen *******. It sounds like his work.

My Dad told us one when i was a kid:

�One fine day, in the middle of the night,
Two dead men came out to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.�

No idea if these "contradiction" poems come froim tho.

I can remember being told that poem as a child, but again I have no idea who wrote or even the rest of it. I would love to find it.

Good grief! My post above should be "Lea" followed by that bird that crows in the morning - a 7 letter name.
