# Talk:On the Ning Nang Nong

I see from the article's history that there was a bit of an edit war over an extra (12th?) line being added and removed from the text of the poem. This stopped being a problem when the poem's text was removed for copyvio. Unfortunately this extra line is still there in the rhyme scheme, so I'm going to be bold and remove it, to match the text in the two references given (and I believe, the original text in Silly Verse For Kids). 
I think it's pretty clear that the line doesn't belong there... The first half of the poem has lines in groups of 3, and the second half has lines in pairs (not a mixture of the two). But if anyone has a reference for a *printed* version with the extra line, please add a comment on that.

... that the appeal of the children's poem "On the Ning Nang Nong" has been attributed to the absurdity of its nonsense sounds, like teapots going "Jibber Jabber Joo"?
