4) Limericks:

The earliest variant was published in 1902 in the Princeton Tiger:[1][2][3]

There once was a man from Nantucket

Who kept all his gold in a bucket.

    But his daughter, named Nan,

    Ran away with a man

And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

Other publications seized upon the "Nantucket" motif, spawning many sequels. Of these, perhaps the two most famous[4][5] appeared, respectively, in the Chicago Tribune and the New York Press:

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,

The man and the girl with the bucket;

    And he said to the man,

    He was welcome to Nan,

But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,

Where he still held the cash as an asset;

    But Nan and the man

    Stole the money and ran,

And as for the bucket, Manhasset.
