Oh Daily Prompt, how timely you are!! I was sitting on my deck on Wednesday night and out of nowhere began to remember lines from this poetic joke I heard as a teenager. I may have missed parts….but the fact that I could actually remember this much of it thirty years later isn’t so bad!!
Now listen very carefully,
it’s as simple as can be.
The place is Piccadilly,
the players, he and she.
I don’t know how to do it,
she said with fearful eyes.
It’s getting rather painful,
it must be quite a size.
Now calm yourself my darling,
his face beheld a grin.
Just open slightly wider,
so I can get it in.
Suddenly with a startled cry,
she gave a little shout.
Only a little blood was shed,
and then he pulled it out.
Now as you listen carefully,
it’s a dentist you will find.
It’s not what you were thinking,
it’s just your dirty mind.
