The Original Fuzzy Wuzzy Rhyme
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?
Long establish nursery rhyme, Author unknown.
The last line had many variations:
"Fuzzy Wuzzy Wasn't so very Fuzzy, was he?"
"So Fuzzy Wuzzy was not fuzzy, was he?"
I remember my father reciting the rhyme to me at a rather young
age. |

The term "Fuzzy Wuzzy" originated in the 1800s.
British Soldiers gave the nickname, "fuzzy wuzzy" to the
Hadendoa warriors that were a nomadic tribe along the Red Sea in
Sudan. The Hadendoa were a formidable fighting force that gained
the respect of the better trained British forces. The Hadendoa
warriors wore their hair matted which gave a "fuzzy" appearance.
The British were eventually victorious over the Fuzzy Wuzzies
but with a greater fight than other enemies.
Rudyard Kippling wrote a poem in 1890, Fuzzy Wuzzy that
praised the Hadendoa warriors for their fighting skills. "So
'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan; /
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man"
Today Fuzzy Wuzzy is known more as the nursery rhyme many of us
learned as children. |

Fuzzy Wuzzy Not So Fuzzy

Fuzzy Wuzzy the cuddly bear,
was not so very fuzzy.
