Possible vandalism

Does anyone know if:

The poem should be read against the background of bayonet drill, (thrusting a bayonetted rifle into a straw filled dummy). As in "'ere's to you Fuzzy Wuzzy" whilst thrusting firmly forward with rifle and bayonet.

is in any way accurate or fit for Wikipedia? Any input would be appreciated, otherwise this statement will probably be removed as it has no citation, and the user has no other contribs.

Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear

A children's poem by this name is rather common.


 "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,

Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?"


I never even heard of the rudyard kipling poem before seeing this article as I associated the title with the Poem I just copy and pasted. There doesn't seem to be much information surrounding this other poem but some sources say that it was influenced by the Rudyard Kipling one. 2600:8801:FB05:E300:D02B:67B4:C1B5:45CA (talk) 21:48, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
