Lecherous Limericks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lecherous Limericks is the first of Isaac Asimov's several compilations of dirty limericks, published in 1975. The book contains 100 limericks.

The first of them is as follows:

There was a sweet girl of Decatur
Who went to sea on a freighter.
She was screwed by the master
-An utter disaster-
But the crew all made up for it later.

Asimov comments,

This one marked the beginning. I composed it on the Queen Elizabeth II when returning from a visit to Great Britain in June, 1974. When I recited it, everyone laughed. Since that time I have been writing down limericks. I wasn't going to let myself forget them and lose laughs.
