There is something fitting about linking the Savoy operas with limericks. Both are likely to appeal to people with a certain type of sense of humour. Why are the Savoy operas funny? Because they were written by a couple of geniuses who knew how to be funny ... never fall into the trap of assuming that Gilbert was the funny one. Gilbert himself discovered that his words didn't work half so well when set by other composers. Why are limericks funny? That's a much more difficult question. Suffice it to say that, if The Lady of Shalot or the Mort d' Arthur were written to a metre of 8,8,5,5,8, people would have roared their ribs out. The really surprising thing, given that Gilbert used every trick in the book to make his verses funny, is that in the whole canon I can only find one example of a limerick written by Gilbert (double limerick, shameless man)

Collector of sexual folklore. Cataloger of erotica. Tireless social critic. Gershon Legman's singular, disreputable resume made him a counter-cultural touchstone during his forty-year exile in France. Despite his obscurity today, Legman’s prescient work and passion for the prurient laid the groundwork for our contemporary study of the forbidden.Susan G. Davis follows the life and times of the figure driven to share what he found in civilization's secret libraries. Self-taught and fiercely unaffiliated, Legman collected the risqué on street corners and in theaters and dug it out of little-known archives. If the sexual humor he uncovered often used laughter to disguise hostility and fear, he still believed it indispensable to the human experience. Davis reveals Legman in all his prickly, provocative complexity as an outrageous nonconformist thundering at a wrong-headed world while reveling in conflict, violating laws and boundaries with equal abandon, and pursuing love and improbable adventures. Through it all, he maintained a kaleidoscopic network of friends, fellow intellectuals, celebrity admirers, and like-minded obsessives.
