I have no idea what the source for that little poem was but it was popular on the playgrounds when I was a kid. Carrol or Lear it ain't but it sticks in the mind, probably because of all the contradictions. And it was a contradiction that reminded me of it when I saw this headline in The Age:Early in the morning in the middle of the nightTwo dead men got up for a fightBack to back they faced each otherDrew their swords and shot each otherAnd if you don't believe it's trueAsk the blind man: he saw it too

Early in the morning in the middle of the night.
If it was lethal then by definition the toddler couldn't have survived it? And since she did survive what was lethal about it? Is this back from the dead stuff, or is it just (oxy)moronic newspaper sensationalism?
I think I can guess.
