The 18th century rhyme: Lucy
Locket lost her pocket. Kitty Fisher found it. There was not a penny in
it, only ribbon round it - refers to a 'pocket', which has two meanings -
it was the purse which had a drawstring top and was tied around a
woman's leg, into which she placed her money, but it was also a
euphemism for her private parts.
