Odd Words
Odd words
In days of old
when whores were bold
their merkins showed for fun
False and free,
believe you me
(some were even tied in a bun)
A colporteur raved
with a bible to save
the ignorance of all around
A barmecide he did tell
ever so well
that they were all spell bound
Bur alas it was
a load of gas
It was all pure lies
The merkins were fakes
just for vanities sake.
so a word to the wise
If a colporteur you see
and asks he
try a merkin on for size
Just say leave me
don’t look and see
for a barmecide it will be.
