The truth about Lady Godiva:
She slicked down her hair with saliva;
She threw off her coat,
Saddled up her best goat,
Then she took on Tom Peep for a fiva.

CODEX - COGNIZANT

That last line. I stood up and shouted a laugh and I've never shouted a laugh before now. Thanks, Tromboniator.

You're welcome, jj. I had nearly the same reaction when I thought of it.

"I am cognizant", said the librarian,
A distinguished and wise antiquarian,
"Of the fact that this tome –
An old codex from Rome –
Was defaced by a Gaulish barbarian".

Wonderful, yes, but strange.
What are the odds that a Podunk village like London would have two great limerick masters?
I'm not saying that Rhubarb Commando is A C Bowden and vice versa.
I'm just saying... whistle

Ever see then on the same stage at the same time? cool

My mum once went to a very snobby airforce ball dressed....or should that be 'undressed'! as Lady Godiva, Peter. She wore a flesh coloured swimsuit and a long blonde wig. She even rode in on a real horse. She got a standing ovation.

Loved both of your limericks and AC, yours reminded me of the Asterix stories I enjoyed.

I rarely see Rhuby in London (though, in truth, I've never been there), but "great limerick master" is certainly fitting. Candy – you're right, I've never seen the two together, either. Makes you wonder.

I never ran across either of them when I was in London, of
course the pubs I was in there was singing not limerick
composing.
