Was tattooed the price of each ale;
     Whilst on her behind
     For the sake of the blind
Was precisely the same, but in braille.

Asked a lesbian up to his room;

     In a hell of a fight
About which should do what, and to whom.

Ethnologists up with the Sioux
Wired home for two punts, one canoe.
     The answer next day
     Said, "Girls on the way,
But what in the hell's a 'panoe'?"

There was a young lady from Thrace
Whose corsets grew too tight to lace.

Than ever went in through your face!"

Its contents run chiefly to sex.
     It burgeons with virgeons
     And masculine urgeons,
And swarms with erotic effex.

His model posed nude on a ladder.

So he climbed up the ladder and had 'er.

There was a young lady of Skye
With a shape like a capital "I".
     She said, "It's too bad;

Which shows you that figures can lie.

There was a young maid from Madras
Who had a magnificent ass;
     Not rounded and pink,
     As you probably think –
It was gray, had long ears, and ate grass.

Took a midget in unaware.

Who hung by her heels in the doorway.

Got his privates caught in a door.
     Now his mezzo-soprano
     Is rather piano,
Though he was a strong basso before.

There was a young girl who begat
Triplets named Nat, Pat, and Tat.

They have such peculiar diversions.
     They make love all day
     In the regular way,
And save up the night for perversions.

Who was had seven times in a hansom.

Said, "My name is Simpson, not Samson."

Approached cataleptic rigidity
     Till you gave her a drink,
     When she quickly would sink
In a state of complaisant liquidity.

Seven times while the Dean was out skiin'.

But the bishop once managed thirteen."

To his bride said the lynx-eyed detective,
"Could it be that my eyesight's defective?
     Has the east tit the least bit
     The best of the west tit,
Or is it a trick of perspective?"

There was a young lady of Exeter,
So pretty that men craned their necks at her.

     As to take out and wave
The distinguishing mark of his sex at her.

A businesslike harlot named Draper
Once tried an unusual caper.
     What made it so nice
     Was you got it half-price
If you brought in her ad from the paper.
