Susan, marvellous translations, especially of "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo."
Bear, of course, "Down, Wanton, Down!" Why didn't I think of that? A favorite.
Jack, we DO actually have quite a number of bawdy limericks in the Mastery archives, under the "Guilty Pleasures." So don't despair.
I'm not sure this counts as bawdy exactly, but I did think of this one by E.E. Cummings. Don't think it could get published nowadays. Interestingly, though now his reputation is for whimsical love poems, in his day he was known as the shocking "bad-boy" of poetry:
22 (from "73 Poems")
annie died the other day
never was there such a lay--
whom,among her dollies,dad
first("don't tell your mother")had;
making annie slightly mad
but very wonderful in bed
--saints and satyrs,go your way
youths and maidens:let us pray
