Date: 2006-09-08 03:44 pm (UTC)There was a young plumber of Leigh
Who was plumbing a girl by the sea.
She said, "Stop your plumbing,
There's somebody coming!"
Said the plumber, still plumbing, "It's me."
A girl attending Bryn Mawr
Committed a dreadful faux pas.
She loosened a stay
In her decollete`,
Exposing her je-ne-sais-quoi.
Numbers 60 and 1573, respectively. And oh, I am the same anonymous poster who talked about your songs for ladies.

Who was making his girl on the stairs
When the staircase broke
He quickened his stroke
And finished her off in mid-air
