Attention, Brits....is This A Classic Limerick?

Found this on a London tube stop:

There once was a fellow named Blair

Who was doing his girl on the stair.

But the bannister broke

So he doubled his stroke

And finished her off in midair.

Is this a British classic, something like our American "There once was a man from Nantucket..."?

Going right back to the days of the Raj:

There was a young girl from Darjeeling

Who could dance with such exquisite feeling

Not a murmur was heard,

Not a sound, not a word,

But the fly-buttons hitting the ceiling.

We had class back then :P

This one is subtle:

Despite her impressive physique

Fatima was really quite meek;

If a mouse showed its head

She would jump into bed

With a terrible blood-curdling sheik. :rolleyes:

I heard this one over 50 years ago:

There was a young girl of Penzance

Who decided to take just one chance.

So she let herself go

In the arms of her beau;

Now all of her sisters are aunts.

Definitely a classic :thumbsu:
