  40. Three poems I remember being passed around among classmates when I was in first grade, circa 1958, includes a variation of this classic. The three are, from mild to gross: Schools out. Schools out. Teachers let the bulls out. No more teachers. No more books. No more teachers’ dirty looks. Then: It’s raining. It’s pouring. The old man is snoring. He went to bed and bumped his head, and didn’t get up till morning. And finally: The night was still. The sky was dark. Down the hill the shitwagon flew. A crash was heard. A man got hit in the face with a flying turd.

  41. I Learned this variation back in 3rd grade, (turd grade?) about 1974.
    I wonder how far back it goes.

    One dark night when the moon was green,
    around the corner came a turd machine.
    A shot was fired, a scream was heard,
    a man got shot by a flying turd.

  42. One dark night when the moon was bright a man invented a shit machine a fart was let a poot was heard and a man got hit by a flying turd.

  43. The night t’was dark, the sky was blue,
    around the corner a turd wagan flew.
    All of a sudden a cry was heard, “A man
    got hit with a flying turd!!”
    Bells rang. whistles blew, cops were there
    in a minute or two. Out of their pockets a
    dagger they drew, and chopped that damn
    turd square in two.
