There are very few memorable limericks that aren't filthy. The only one I can think of is this one by Robert Conquest.

There once was a Marshal called Lenin
Who did two or three million men in.
That's a lot to have done in,
But where he did one in
The Grand Marshal Stalin did ten in.

Of course if it's simply a matter of the word we can always bowdlerise it.

Since sex up in Heaven's

Do thirteen-year-old boys really read the papers in America? Over here they barely read anything at all unless the text is illustrated
