A Lost Limericist?
At the bottom of an old pewter quart tankard, among the things I've just come across is a tiny undated newspaper cutting with the following by Quintin Hogg (1907-2001) the half-American UK politician who nearly became Prime Minister in 1963 when Harold Macmillan resigned.
While rehearsing her part, that of Puck,
A Shakespearean actress got stuck
But, not having heard
Of that four-letter word,
She merely remarked, 'What bad luck!'
