Well, I don't know about the actual rules written out, but I do have a disk
of Apple ][ games, and one of them is Fizzbin.  It offers the rules at the 
beginning, but they are at least as complicated as Kirk's description.  It
does ask you if it's dark, if it's Tuesday, and if it's raining.

I can't offer copies, because I don't have access to an Apple anymore.  Just
wanted to pass it along, because if I do, somebody else somewhere must also.
