I once read a verse about a job needing done and it contained the words anybody, somebody, nobody and everybody.
Eventually the job didn't get done because everybody blamed somebody so nobody did it. Can anybody hep with the whole verse

There seem to be a number of variations of the same verse, here is one of them:
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody cold have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
