It's rarely known but studies have shown Pencils last fifty thousand words Worms eat themselves if they can't find food Now I find that totally absurd! It's rarely known but studies have shown Elephants can't jump, wish they could An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain I know people that applies to, or should It's rarely known but studies have shown Right handers live longer than left How many people just decided to switch Nine years longer, who would've guessed It's rarely known but studies have shown In Nebraska, you can't burp in church As a matter of fact, you can't sneeze either From some recent up-to-date research It's rarely known but studies have shown A giraffe cleans its ears with its tongue Charles Osborne hiccuped 69 years Wasps taste like pine nuts... I'm done! It's rarely known but studies have shown Ninety-nine per cent of these are true But I must confess, there's a couple I fudged Now you won't report me, will you? ©Jack Ellison 2012
