As I was reading it, I had a sense that it was one of my grandparents reciting it. My grandparents were born in the teens and twenties. Something about that generation, they remembered stuff like this, word for word and had precise delivery. I was always amazed listening to them spit shit like this out. How in the hell they did it, even while shitfaced, is a mystery.
A quick search says the author is unknown but it's been around a while. Still true tho.
