this kind of parody is American
Maybe USA has got it down to a fine art, but UK kids (well OK me a looong time ago) are exposed to this style of parody. I don't know (haven't the reference to hand, prob from Penguin Anthology of Comic and Curious Verse) the source of this one in similar vein:
Yesterday*, while going up the stair.
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away.
*Doesn't scan to me, could be "Last Week"?
Spike Milligan has some delightful Children's verse, such as:
There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in,
but they're ever so small, that's why rain's so thin.
