On the Limerick: Wikipedia: A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict form (aabba), originally popularized in English by Edward Lear. Limericks are frequently witty or humorous, and sometimes obscene with humorous intent. The following example of a limerick is of anonymous origin.
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen so seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
On the P family: known for their witty one liners and keen intellect, patrician descendants of PKP with an epicurean bent and fondness for anything amusing ;-)
So here goes an original from the P stables (attributed to one of the dapper young men of yore):
There was a man from Mecca
Who went for a ride in an Ekka.
The Ekka broke down
And up flew his gown.
He asked the driver, "Kuchh Dekka"?

After a giggly M called this morning to remind me of a few more from the same source, I have to edit this post to add them:

There was a man from Madras,
Whose b*lls were made of brass.
In windy weather they struck together,
And sparks flew out of his a*se
There was a woman named sparky,
Who foolishly married a darky,
And for her sins she had three pairs of twins,
One white, one black and one khaki.
We weren't sure if this one qualifies as a limerick, but putting it up anyway:
Algy had a bear,
The bear was bulgy,
The bulge was algy
*Disclaimer: Anyone from the P family reading this not to take umbrage; the bachha party has grown up to B Dada tales! :)

1. There was a man from madras,
With b*lls of brass.
In windy weather,
The clashed together,
And sparks flew out of his a*se
2. There was a woman named sparky,
Who foolishly married a darky,
And for her sins,
She had three pairs of twins,
One white, one black and one khaki.

3. Algy had a bear,
The bear was bulgy,
The bulge was algy

Anyways, Nice ones and i think i have heard them from M before. But really nice ones. A good source of laughter.
PS - didn't get the connection between sparky, darky n khaki. May be just bcos i am feeling sleepy.

As a rep of the legendary P family we are all proud of heirlooms being polished and maintained!

A place where I'll never again be
Her rumblings abdominal
Were simply phenomenal
And everybody thought it was me!!
