Out of Sale

On the chest of a barmaid from Sale
Was tattooed all the prices of ale
Whilst on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was precisely the same, but in braille.

  1. Hardly Emily Dickison.

  2. There once was a man from Limerick
    Who only thought with his dick.
    He once used his brain
    and wrote this dreadful refrain
    and returned to pondering his prick.

  3. Actually I don't believe that Emily Dickinson (note spelling) wrote any limericks.

  4. A fine Amherst lady sans marriage
    Hitched a ride on a kindly-stopped carriage.
    "I'm not sorry to go;
    I'll be famous, I know,
    When they open that trunk in the garage."

  5. That sounds almost like Les Dawson.

    There was a girl from Kirkbride
    Who ate rotten apples and died.
    The apples fermented
    Inside the lamented
    Making cider inside her insides

    The one I posted was from Are You Being Served. Got the first DVD a couple days ago, and I quite like it, thanks.

  7. I'm trying to think who would say such a thing. I can almost see Cpt Peacock saying it, but it's not his style. It would either be Mr Spooner or the janitor (Hargreaves/Hardcastle?).

    I'm surprised how many series they got out of Are You Being Served, and the mileage from Mrs Slocombe's pussy alone...

    I actually met Molly Sugdens husband, William Moore. He was acting in Chester, and stayed at our B&B for quite a few weeks. They were in a sit-com together, I think with Ronnie Corbett too. Anyway, he was a very nice man.

    Is Wendy Richards still in Benders? Er, East Enders that is.

  8. Actually it was Peacock.
    I did think it a little out of character. It was in the second episode, with the note to "Sexy Knickers".

    true, her poetry still sucked at any rate.

  10. With great effort I pulled a trick
    Just as poetic as a brick
    I tried to chime in
    With some great rhymin'
    And all I could make was that limerick!
