Hi, it's me

Hey all,
hatti matim tim is my favourite nursery rhyme
that's why i named my blog after this.

Hatti Matim Tim
Ami mathe pari dim
Though I have no khara shing
But I believe I'm the hatti matim tim.

Can anyone please tell me who wrote this?

-----------------------------------------------
Many non-bengali speakers asked me what my blog name means.
One guy guessed "Amy ditched Mathew for a dime"(OMG!)
Hatti matim tim is a 4-line Bengali nursery rhyme. Hatti matim tim is an imaginary animal in Bengali folklore, kind of like Unicorn. It has two straight horns and lays eggs in open field. "Ami mathe pari dim" means "I lay eggs in open field." In Bengali, "laying eggs in a field" means "doing nothing" or "wasting time."
So my blog name means "I am an imaginary animal and this blog is one place where I waste most of my time."
