[at-l] beans for breakfast

Oh...  And I was just going to start with they limericks...

The limerick's an art form complex
Whose contents run chiefly to sex.
It's famous for virgins,
And masculine urgins,
And vulgar erotic effects. 

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I've seen
Seldom are clean,
And the clean ones seldom are comical. 

It needn't have ribaldry's taint
Or strive to make everyone faint;
There's a type that's demure
And perfectly pure
Though it helps quite a lot if it ain't. 

The limerick is furtive and mean;
You must keep her in close quarantine,
Or she sneaks to the slums
And promptly becomes
Disorderly, drunk, and obscene.
