Footnotes:
1 - The next two verses are said to have been made up at the Ankh Morpork Heroes Gym and Public Baths during a meeting of the Leather Posing Pouch Society. This is denied by the heroes, who want to continue life in their current form ( and species). It is back up by the proven fact that heroes usually spell their names with an X; and usually get the spelling wrong. And besides why would they want to slander a bunch of old men in long red dresses trimmed with lace. Wizard's counter with that not stopping anyone because any stupid nit can hire a scribe and who need to write words down for a song anyway. And what really goes on down at the Gym since everyone knows that heroes don't bathe, so where do they get off calling it a public bath anyway?
2 - The rest of the verses were written by th first year students of Unseen University; who weren't in a position to know any better; at least not yet.
3 - no, this is not a repeat of a previous verse.
4 - yes, this is a repeat of a previous verse.
