A Humourous Harlot

Post by Airspeed »

Reading "The Dictionary of Lost Words" last night, I came across this gem, which I've cleaned up for posting:

There was a young harlot from Kew.
Who filled herself up with glue,
She said with a grin, :They pay to come in,
They can pay to get out again, too!"

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

No originator quoted in the book, Simon.
The limerick was supposedly spoken by a very wordly market stallholder, in the 1800s, to illustrate the use of a word. (which I changed in the above to avoid being banned here.)
The only Leer I could find in this regard was not Edward, but a gent who apparently promoted clean limericks, which was (again, apparently) against the general idea behind them.
