Lecherous Limericks (1975) is the first of several compilations of dirty limericks by celebrated author Isaac Asimov (1920-1992). 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.
