Cottesloe Pie - old rhyme

ampersand

Yes, I know it's not moneysaving, but, at a stretch it is, if I have to travel and pay for parking time, research, copying...
Anyway, can someone please direct me to the words/source of this old rhyme?
I thought it appeared in Beatrix Potter, but can't find it now(checked out Appley Dappley and Cecily Parsley).
Surprisingly, Googling does not produce it either. Nor is it in Mother Goose.
Any help would be appreciated, for which many thanks.

Agreed!
'Cottleston Pie' is from Winnie the Pooh, chapter 6 by A. A. Milne

Thankyou all - and apologies for 'Cottesloe', rather than 'Cottleston'. I was trying to recall it for a West Oz ami born at said place, and was trying a little too hard, it seems! Thankyou for all your replies once again. Next step - consult Winnie-THER-Pooh.
#and no wonder Googling produced nothing, given that I entered incorrect name.
