Dirty Book

There is always some smuttyminded "Indignant Citizen" or "Pro Bono Publico" to write in to the papers objecting about a dirty joke (it must have been dirty, they could see it) in Cappicade, Extrav, or Procesh. Well, someone has even smelled out the N.Z.U.S.A. Songbook. A horrified Auckland parent wrote to the Chancellor last year, complaining that there were songs in the book which a young girl should not . . . and so on, in reply to a query by the Vice-Chancellor, N.Z.U.S.A. resident exec. has announced it does intend to withdraw the song book from sale.

There was an old man of Khandallah,
Who strangled his wife in the parlour,
To stop her (he said)
From snoring in bed
And stealing her husband's marsala.
