On Nevski Bridge a Russian stood,
Chewing his beard for lack of food,
He said this stuff it's tough to eat,
But it's a darn sight better than Shredded Wheat.

I'd reference it, but I can't remember the writer. I read it in a book decades ago. Googled it - no help.

this doesn't give its source either, but it shows it's been around awhile.

Here's a variant:

Near Aston Church a beggar stood
Chewing his beard for lack of food.
Said he, "It's tough this stuff to eat,
"But a damn sight better than Shredded Wheat!"

Anyone know where Aston Church is?
