chastushki and limericks

[Genevra Gerhart]

Dear Alexandra,
Since both limericks in English and chastushki in Russian are famous for
their very specific stress and rhyming requirements _and_ their unacceptable
allusions, translation should indeed be impossible. But, you might want to
refer to:

Russkii Eroticheskii Fol'klor
Sostavlenie A.Toporkova
"Ladomir"
Moskva, 1995
ISBN 5-86218-217-9

Headings include: Pesni, Obriady, Narodnyy teatr, Zagovory, Zagadki,
Chastushki

There  are over 600 some chastushki
