As a kid, I heard this limerick from a friend who
spent some time in England. Would appreciate anyone
who could fill in the missing parts of a fairly long
limerick. Here it is, what i can remember of it.

The Good Ship Venus

On the good ship Venus,
by hell, you should have seen us.
The captains name was Hopper,
by hell he had a whopper,
once around the deck
twice around his neck
and up his arse for a stopper.

The first engine mates name was Carter
by hell he was a farter.
When the ship did stop , they had to call
carter
the farter
to start'er.

I can onlyt remember a couple of the verses, feel free to slot them
where it looks right.

The cabin boy's name was Tipper,
A flthy little nipper,
We filled his arse with broken glass,
And circumcised the skipper.

The captain's daughter was Mabel,
She was ready, willing and able,
She gave the crew, their daily due,
Spead wide on the kitchen table.

I vaguely remember someting about the figurehead.

Ah, memories of English Poetry in primary school.

The figurehead
lay nude on a bed
sucking a dead man's penis

Aboard the good ship Venus,
The mast it was a penis,
Her figurehead
A whore in bed,
Good grief you should have seen us!

The cabin boy, the captain's joy,
A cunning little nipper,
They filled his ass,
With broken glass,
And circumcized the skipper.

The first mate's name was Higgins,
And Higgins was a biggins,
Once round the deck,
Twice up the mast,
And the rest was used for riggins'!

The captain's daughter Mabel,
They screwed when they were able,
They nailed her tits,
Those nasty shits,
Right to the captain's table.

The engineer's name was Carter,
And Carter was a farter,
When the wind wouldn't blow,
And the ship couldn't go,
Carter the farter would start her!

The second mate's name was Andy,
By God, he was a dandy,
They broke his cock,
With chunks of rock,
For conking in the brandy!
