As my comment implied, I had an inkling who it might be, John. Perhaps you could call it "Guess who?", although they don't seem to retain titles in the Speccie.
I think "boudoir" would be better. "Boodwar" seems a little heavy-handed, not quite the Whitworth lightness of touch that we have come to expect.
If you cut a stanza, I'd make it the third. There can be no question of losing the Mars bar, and "a whatsit to stick in your loo" is a stronger ending than "a dingus for streaking your hair".
I'm glad you liked my lttle piece. As you can imagine, although it was over sixty years ago, it's a scene I've never forgotten. Of course, my uncle and aunt are long gone, but they live on in my tale!
