Speaking of Mommy jokes, some folk may remember the 'Little Audrey' jokes which were in vogue a while back.
Their essence was a macabre gallows humor, there was quite a selection of them and I've had a go at versifying one;
Little Audrey
Little Audrey asks the friendly cop she’s seen patrol his beat;
“Have you seen my daddy officer?” “He’s just across the street”
says the cop, so Little Audrey runs across to meet her dad
but is knocked down by a motor car and everyone is sad,
except the cop who laughs so much he truly has a ball—
“Sure I knew right well it wasn’t Little Audrey’s dad at all!”
