Nantucket = Nantuckit

The last line doesn't scan, reminding me of the famous Japanese limerick:

There once was a man from Japan,
Whose limericks never would scan,
When told this was so,
He replied "yes I know,
But I always try to get as many words in the last line as ever I possibly can!"

I think that's the only clean limerick I know. Can we adopt a convention that will permit us to conduct this literary discussion in polite company?

Such as: P.C. words (physiologically correct)

There was a young man from Madras
Whose testes were made out of brass
He clanged them together
They played "Stormy Weather"
While lightning shot out of his anus.
