The history of autograph books would be worth researching. One wonders if it was it a backlash to Victorian prudishness?
"When you are old and in the tub,/Remember me with every rub/And if the water's not too hot/Lather away and Forget-Me-Not. ~
~ Now any old fish/Can drift along and dream/But it takes a regular live-one/To swim against the stream. ~
~ Apple pie without cheese/Is like a kiss without a squeeze. ~
~ When you get married and have nine/Bundle them up and come see mine. ~
~ I thought and thought/And thought in vain/And now I think I'll sign my name! ~
~ Many a man with many a mind/ Many a bird of every kind. ~
~ I wish you health/I wish you wealth/I wish you gold in store/I wish you Heaven after death/What could I wish you more?" ~
~ Then there is this one: "Grandpa's getting old and grey/Whiskers always get in his way/Grandma eats them in her sleep/Thinks she's eating Shredded Wheat."
