The Cough With A Rattle

An old hooker who lived in Seattle
Developed a cough with a rattle;
Yes, she had caught a chill
And began feeling ill,
And felt she was losing the battle.

So she took herself off to the docs,
Who gave her the worst of all shocks.
When he said to her, “Dear,
it would seem to appear,
You’ve contracted a dose of the pox.

If you don’t want soon to be dead,
I suggest you spend less time in bed.
It’s all much too risky,
So when you feel frisky,
Take one of these tablets Instead.

  1. Reminds me of one I heard as a teenager:
    There was a young woman from Bristol, Who cocked her leg over a pistol, The pistol went off, And she gave a cough,
    I can’t remember the rest!
