I have seen a number of alleged children's variations on the Pledge Allegiance, such as "...and to the Republic for Richard Sands; one nation, in a dirigible..." How many of them are authentic children's malapropos I don't know.
For a collection of children's sayings, don't overlook Art Linkletter's _Children Say The Darndest Things"
