That reads like a (dirty) Robert Service poem.

Hmmmmm. I'm sure that's not the version my dad knew. He claims he's forgotten it all now of course, but swears he can remember "....and when she coughed, the bits dropped off, and mingled with the dust." Nice.

All I know is that in the song "Please Don't Touch" the singer woke up drunk and "felt like Eskimo Nell."
