I insist that, unlike Stephen Dedalus, I have never written my name on the buttocks of the Venus de Milo.
Bummer Limerick
- In the hot Kalahari it's indigenous;
There, the ladies look steatopyginous,
but for each girl Hottentot
the fat bum that she's got
Means that she's quite callipyginous.

Written by Katanga (1537 comments posted) 29th July 2008 | Having googled, it seems 'callipyginous' is a non-word, an alternative spelling of 'callipygious', meaning 'beautifully-buttocked' like Beyonce (someone has posted!).
Makes me think of pigeons!
Now, there's a fetish-and-a-half for you!
Fabulous, Brian!
Cheers!

Enjoyed it. Small wonder you didn't post a few examples for John to admire (and the rest of us)

Written by patterjack (1435 comments posted) 29th July 2008 | The (un)word has been in my vocabulary in that form since about 1949. So I consider it usable as part of my personal canon.
And the Hottentot reference is a valid one , btw . Ask any Bushman.

Written by Bottleblondesurfer (3590 comments posted) 30th July 2008 | Well, Brian only you could get away with wonderful mix of classical allusions and smutty innuendo. It’s like Frankie Howard meets Aeschylus. I heard on the radio that the writers for Howard had to put in all the “oo-err missus”, “no- stop” bits as well, so it’s just as well Aeschylus wasn’t around.
You seem to be deliberately subverting tour own attempt to up-grade the limerick with your emphasis on the nether regions. Anyway the whole thing worked gloriously well as a hybrid limerick. Something for everyone, I think.
Cheers
