2/2/1859: birth of sexologist Havelock Ellis (d1939)
O Mr. Ellis, O Mr. Ellis!
Sex has peculiar angles, as you say;
But I don't see the idear of coitus from the rear,
Though it seems to be the fashion of the day.
O Dr. Freud, O Dr. Freud!
Do you mean to say that you have never hoid?
The position you suggest, is in fact the very best --
I deny it, Mr. Ellis --
You should try it, Dr. Freud!
O Mr. Ellis, O Mr. Ellis!
Does a naked woman make you stand erect?
When you're reading Pushkin's verse
And she diddles you or worse,
Does it bother or disturb your intellect?
O Dr. Freud, O Dr. Freud!
My reactions are extremely anthropoid;
And the sight of her behind
Forces Pushkin from my mind --
Forces Pushkin, Mr. Ellis? --
Pushes foreskin, Dr. Freud!
Anon. from "Bawdy Monologues," Gershon Legman
Southern Folklore Quarterly 40(1976)
I don't know the time relationship between this and filename[ DRFREUD, or
which parody parodises the other. The above is clearly based on minstrel
show comic dialogs, a parody of Gallagher and Sheen's trademark routine.
The first half was published in 1927. The second half surfaced in 1947.
(This is also Mary Anne Talbot's birthday & Howard Kaplan did a good song
for the classic virago. But we did that last year.)
