Like R.A., I knew I recognized the verse from some anthology or other, but I was surprised (when I threw my honor system out the window and went to my bookshelf) that of the 5 light verse anthologies I've got that don't focus exclusively on the British, the poem (nearly but not quite identical to the one at the top of the thread) is in 4 of them!
(I originally typed in more information about those books and the poem, but, not sure whether that would queer the results Mike's after, I'm removing all that.)

Reason: too much information?
