"Wombats" I wrote and wombats I meant. I swiped the line from a science fiction author -- I think it was either Gordon R. Dickson, or somebody who said he and Gordy used to fight like wombats...

The line does not appear in Charles Fort Never Mentioned Wombats.

There was also one of those rurally-humorous books Australia seems to abound with, or else sells more of to tourists than even Army slouch hats, titled Wombat Revenge. I haven't got it around any more, having lent it and then moved away, but I remember it describes being bitten by a wombat -- after a rather improbable chain of circumstances. They have strong jaws and blunt teeth, and the whole thing amounted to a rather severe example of, "Ow. OW! Quit it!!"
