It’s time for some limerick history. As you may be aware I collect limericks from all sorts of sources. Recently I purchased a few small used books from an online thrift bookstore. Buying books in bulk is always a risk but sometimes it pays off with pleasant surprises. Today’s limericks were published in a small inconsequential book of just sixty pages in 1960. It’s been 64 years since then and many of the limericks in the book were collected from even older sources. They are officially titled “Laundered Limericks” meaning many were cleaned of obscenities to get them printed but still contain some vulgarities. I’d probably rate some of these as PG but that’s for you readers to decide.

An old maid in the land of Aloha

Got wrapped in the coils of a boa.

And as the snake squeezed

The maid, not displeased,

Cried, “Darling! I love it! Samoa!”

There was a young lady named Gloria

Who was screwed by Sir Oswald Du Maurier,

And then by six men,

Sir Oswald again,

And the band at the Waldorf-Astoria.

😎😎😎

There once was a man of high station

Who was found by a pious relation,

Making love on the floor,

To – I won’t say a whore,

But a lady of poor reputation.

😉😉😉

A remarkable race are the Persians,

They have such peculiar diversions.

They make love all day

In the regular way

And all night they practice perversions.

🤪🤪🤪

GOTTA LUV THEM 60’S
