Kenneth Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet Quote

To Philip Larkin who had complained that he could not think of a rhyme for Stoke Poges:

An incontinent man from Stoke Poges
At the theatre would often soak loges.
To take care of that
He'd pee in his hat
Or a chamber pot made in Limoges.


Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations (OUP Oxford, 2013), p. 242
