Can anyone tell me who wrote the following, probably well-known  
limerick?  (Maybe I originally got it from this list.)

	A bouncing young maiden named Tess
Took a nap in her gossamer dress,
But when things became phallic
In the shape of young Alec,
Was it yes or duress? I can't guess.

Jack Farrell,
UT-Austin
