Reminds me of this poem.

My Dearest,

Please do not take this in jest,
I really do think you're the best.
You have the most beautiful eyes,
that's where I let my gaze rest.

A woman with such good connections
must have near in-finite selection.
But you give me such a big smile,
so please ignore my imperfections.

I know that this poem's a farce,
but I'm running a bit short on class.
I'd like to take you up the West End,
it's an evening we'd never surpass.

It's said that I'm not very slick,
and some people think that I'm thick.
I don't have a very big room,
but please don't dismiss me too quick.

I suspect that I'm pushing my luck,
please don't say I'm out for a duck.
Come join me tonight for a film,
and I'll never treat you like muck.

When I see you I just have to thank
the Lord that I can be so frank.
Without you I'd just have to cry,
but I know on your love I can bank.

Took me a minute... very clever.
 
I don't get it.
If the above clues don't help, note that in the third line of each stanza the last word doesn't rhyme with the other line ending in each. There is a word for each that does rhyme that is about or suggests a sexual meaning. The words are below if it's still not obvious:

breast, erection, ass, dick, fuck, wank

There are other poems and songs which use this technique which can be referred to as a "censored rhyme". Another common censored rhyme is "Sweet Violets":

The version I know goes like this (even set it to barbershop quartet back in college):
One day a miss
Went out to pi..ck some flowers
She walked on grass
Up to her a...nkle garters
She saw a bird
Land on a tur...key feather
It broke her heart
She let a far...mer take her home.

I like how they physically mimic the actual uncomfortable physical process of receiving a mammogram.

I took this photo today at Costco:

Hint: maple syrup isn't pressed! I promptly went right next to it and bought the Kirkland (Costco) brand for half the price. I know it was half the price, because Costco is one of those good stores that puts unit price on the tag as well.
