There was a young man from Calcutta,
Who coated his tonsils with butter.
He thus altered his speech
From a harsh, raucous screech
To a soft, oleaginous mutter.

in general they are so raunchy, that even in this day and age, you still haven't heard one, (and you most likely have heard many four letter words.
as for rhyming, does butter rhyme with calcutta? it did above! calcutta lends its self to 'flexible' rhymes..

Just watch it contract and expand
Very good. God intended limericks should be bawdy.
Otherwise it's sacrilege.

What really gets me is when one a them non-rhotic types *uses an r to indicate how they pronounce something.
