I guess my comment with the entire song was considered inappropriate because I can’t see anywhere but my comment history. It’s a dirty song called AN ENGINEER'S LIMIT (FROGGY WENT A COURTIN') you can find the entirety of the song book here/index.htm) it’s the first song in it.

About 30 years ago, I worked on a maintenance crew at an industrial forge. There was an old timer who always had a funny story or some sage advice for us young bucks. He had one limerick that I have always remembered.

There once was a man named Mick He was cursed at birth with a corkscrew dick

Around the world, he did hunt For a woman born with a corkscrew cunt

On the day he found her, he fell dead For the cunt he found had a lefthand thread

It’s a song

AN ENGINEER'S LIMIT (FROGGY WENT A COURTIN')

An Engineer told me before he died And I've no reason to believe he lied He knew a woman with a cunt so wide That she just couldn't be satisfied.

So he built a prick of steel Driven by 3 bloody great wheel Two brass balls filled with cream And the whole fucking issue Was driven with steam

Round and round Went the bloody great wheel In and out went the prick of steel 'Till at last the maiden cried "Enough, enough, I'm satisfied."

Up and up went the level of steam Down and down went the level of cream, 'Till again the maiden cried "Enough, enough, I'm satisfied."

Now we come to the bitter bit There was no way of stopping it She was split from ass to tit And the whole fucking issue Was covered in shit.

Edit the book it’s from/index.htm)

This is the limerick but it looks like some of the words have been changed a little bit:

An engineer told me before he died He had a wife with a cunt so wideShe was never satisfied

Ah-hum titty-bum titty-bum titty-bumAh-hum titty-bum titty-bum titty-bum

So he built a fucking great wheel, Two brass balls and a prick of steel, The balls of brass he filled with cream, And the whole bloody issue was powered by steam

Ah-hum titty-bum, etc.

He lay her down upon the bed, He put her arms above her head, There she lay demanding to fuck, He shook her hand and he wished her luck

Ah-hum titty-bum, etc.

Round and round went the bloody great wheel In and out went the prick of steel Up and up went the level of steam Down and down went the level of cream

Ah-hum titty-bum, etc.

Til at last the maiden cried Enough! Enough! I’m satisfied! Now we come to the tragic bit… There was no way of stopping it So she was split from arse to tit. And the whole bloody room was covered in shit

Ah-hum titty-bum, etc.

It jumped off her, and jumped on him Then it buggered his next of kin It hopped upon an uptown bus And came to fuck the rest of us!

Ah-hum titty-bum, etc

The last time that machine was seen Was in Buckingham Palace fucking the queen

Some author worked quite hard writing that ditty.
