[net.rec.scuba] limericks for divers

from undercurrent Nov-Dec 77 for all you divers out there:

	A lovely young diver Named Nancy,
	Wore a bikini bottom quite Chancy,
		The fish of Bonaire,
		Watched her Derriere,
	And the sea fans all tickled her fancy.

	Nancy's mom, A Mrs. McCuddy,
	(Who's a bit of an old fuddy-duddy),
		Asked her sweet daughter, "Why?",
		Nancy gave this reply:
	I never get lost from my buddy.

	A young maiden from France was no prude,
	She decided to dive in the nude,
		But her buddy, behind,
		When out of his mind,
	When he noticed where she was tatooed.

	I think I shall never see,
	A shark that looks friendly to me,
		Whatever there sizes,
		My anxiety rises,
	and I find myself wanting to pee.

	He dove down overweighted with lead.
	Passed one hundred and flat lost his head.
		He flapped and he flailed,
		Spit his hose and he wailed,
	Swallowed water and found himself dead.
	
	There was a young man from Bonaire;
	Often narc'd in the dark i declare.
		He found, when imbibing,
		Then deeply night diving,
	He frequently ran out of air.

You should be formally shot for having some encrypted and some not encrypted.
Or was it more amusing making people read it two ways?
