SIX ECDYSIAST LIMERICKS

ecdysiast: (noun) a striptease artist; from the Greek ekdysis: the shedding of an outer integument or layer of skin

There once was a lazy ecdysiast
Who thought that her job was the easiest
She'd take off her clothes
And thereby expose
Herself to the men who were sleaziest

There once was a happy ecdysiast
Whose job made her mom feel the queasiest
"But Mom," she'd explain
"It causes no pain
And the tips that I get are the easiest."

With a head cold, the sick young ecdysiast
Soon found that her act was the sneeziest
She made her achoos
Wearing only her shoes
But her tips from that night were the measliest

An ecdysiast sporting a cast
Could not shed her clothes all that fast
She'd rip and she'd tear
And try to get bare
And leave the poor patrons aghast

(from Mike Mayhew)
There once was a dirty ecdysiast
Whose armpits were known as the cheesiest
Said the boss of the club
"If she won't use the tub
She can dance by the door where it's breeziest."

(with Sam Marshall)
There once was a wrinkled old stripper
So old she was nicknamed "The Gipper"
She was long in the tooth
And far from her youth
And her bosom was called "The Big Dipper"
