Hi, there are several message threads here on the subject, to which I have made a very small contribution, suggestions only.

It is better to post to the thread where you found the relevant message.

But in reply, I don't think anyone has yet made any progress in either obtaining royalties or recovering the rights to their recordings. It seems that you will need very deep pockets if you want to take legal action, even though there MAY be a case. Sorry for the bad news.

There was a young lady called Claire
Had incredibly dense pubic hair
Her boyfriend, called Jim,
Never did find her quim
And said it felt just like fucking a bear.


There once was a lady called Drever
Had a most incredible beaver
This remarkable twat
Had teeth like a rat,
Cut down trees and built dams on the reever


A striptease artist from Bude
Would dance with a snake in the nude
It would slip down her front
Put its head up her c**t
And she'd say,"Oooh, that really feels gude".

So what do I do
I just say one two
Not exactly original eh?


When we're trying out the sound system
Our engineer needs some assistin'
To try out the mic
We could say what we like
But one-two,one-two takes some resistin'

Why do I just say one two, one two, one two (fading echo effect!)
When anything else would do, would do, would do

But please stop your snoring
I'm doing it just for the crew, the crew, the crew,the crew.......

A habit obscene and unsavoury
Holds the Bishop of Wessex in slavery
With maniac howls
He deflowers young owls
He keeps in an underground aviary

Now the Bishop of Dunstan-St-Just
Was consumed by a similar lust
So he raped all those owls
Those elegant fowls
And a little green lizard what bust.

A good many of the ones quoted can be found in the "Pan book of Limericks" c1972.

Young girls who frequent picture palaces
Set no store by psychoanalysis
Though the great Mr Freud
Got rather annoyed
They just cling to their old-fashioned fallacies

Aliter:

An audacious young lady named Alice
Used a dynamite stick for a phallus.
They found her vagina
In North Carolina --
Her rectum, in Buckingham Palace.

There once was a certain Dalmatian,
A canine of high social station.
He was found in a ditch
With -- I won't say a bitch,
But -- a person of no reputation.

A dumb meter-reader named Peter
Used a candle to read a gas meter.
The predictable leak
Blew him into next week,
And, as you can tell if you know anything about scansion, it also ruined the meter.

What one learns from the many, many limerick threads is that there are about 27 common, well-known bawdy limericks....and they get posted over & over & over...with small variations.


wait...maybe there's 31...

One other thing one learns, is that some folks don't care much about keeping the meter very precise.


(oh...and the one back in April, about 'farting the oboe part', is a short variation of a LONG one called "The Farter from Sparta", which is one of the most erudite creations in the genré.)(It's in the database, but MUCH expanded from the original, and with a bit less care given to precise meter and classical references)

Limericks that have the first & last line the same (or ending the same) are sometimes called "learicks", because Edward Lear favored that scheme:

There was an Old Man of Whitehaven,
Who danced a quadrille with a raven;
But they said, "It's absurd
To encourage this bird!"
So they smashed that Old Man of Whitehaven.

Anyone ever come across this one? It's not very dirty or witty, but it's the very first limerick I heard when I was about 4 which is 56 years ago. The old lady next door told me it and she was from King's Lynn but living in Hull.

There was a young lady from Spain
She cocked her leg over a train,
The train went fast
And tickled her arse
There was a young lady from Spain

I seem to remember there were lots of children's limericks around then that repeated the first line at the end.
