Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ladies in the Lavatory...
Ok, a verse or two from my sainted mother, who taught me 3 Old Ladies Got Locked in a Lavatory, which she had learned from a friend of HER mother's.

The first old lady was Elizabeth Humphrey,
She sat down but could not get her bum free.
She said, Oh girls but isn't this comfree!
Nobody knew she was there.

The next old lady was Harriet Slaughter,
She was the Bishop of Chichester's daughter.
She came in to pass some superfluos water
Nobody knew she was there.

The next old lady was Harriet Bender
She came in to fix a suspender (British for garter.)
It flew up and hit her feminine gender.
Nobody knew she was there.

Alas mom never heard this verse.

The next old lady was a Catholic lass.
She came in all for to miss mass.
A thief came in and he pincher her--handbag
Nobody knew she was there.

I sang some songs my mother taught me for another catter. When we came to the three old ladies, there was a short pause after I finished the song then he said, "She taught you that!?"
She did indeed.
