C J StrolinDid anyone notice that there is a distinct link between one recurring structure that this generator presents and a famous Monty Python routine?

C J StrolinWell apparently no one did and this thread is just about to go into
No-posts-in-60-days Limbo so I'll answer my own question.
The format "I'm a ______ and I'm OK. I _____ all night and I ______ all day." which seems to come up with some regularity, has got to be a borrowing from Monty Python's "The Lumberjack Song" (I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK. I sleep all night and I work all day.") of some years back.
Anyone who has never heard this song is missing out on a major delight of life. With my second wife, this was "our song."
