Help! Can you find this poem?

With World Book Day comiing up, DS3 has to dress up as a character from his favourite poem. DS1 suggested "I am the Bathroom Fiddler", (by Michael Rosen?) which is really amusing but we can't remember all of it. Then DS3 could go in to school with his dressing gown on. Has anyone seen this online, or do you know which of his books it has been published in? If I can't find it, the little darling's other idea is to be a dinosaur...:rolleyes: Grateful for your help!

I'm the bathroom fiddler,
The bathroom twiddler,
The foodler and the doodler,
The dawdler and the diddler.
I dibble and I dabble
I meddle and I muddle
When it's time for me to wash,
When I know it's time for bed.

When I go up to the bathroom
to get ready for bed
I don't get washed straight away
I fiddle and I muck.

I pick up the toothbrush
and I bite the bristles,
I get the bristles in my teeth and I pull
I pull
I heave
I have a tug-o-war with the toothbrush
I'm winning I'm winning!
YEURCHK. My mouth's full of bristles.

I get the can of talcum powder
I hold it in my hand
I drop my hand down fast
and out comes a puff of powder
catch the cloud of powder
but it falls to the floor.
HEY! IT'S SNOWING IN HERE.

I make mixtures in the sink
pour in the shampoo and the bubble bath
whisk it all up to make the bubbles
then I say,
"OKAY you bubbles, you're finished."
At that,
I blow huge puffs of air,
and the bubbles pop all over the place.

Then I stick my finger down the plughole
and scoop out the mucky stuff down there
and then I stand and dream
sucking on the sponge
and then I stand and dream
sucking on the sponge
and dream sucking on the sponge
sucking on the sponge
on the sponge
the sponge
sponge.
