All the maids of IslingtonWent forth to sport and play;
All but the bailiff’s daughter dear;
She secretly stole away.
She put off her gown of gray,
And put on her puggish attire;
She’s up to fair London gone,
Her true-love to require.
As she went along the road,
The weather being hot and dry,
There was she aware of her true-love,
At length came riding by.
She stept to him, as red as any rose,
And took him by the bridle-ring:
‘I pray you, kind sir, give me one penny,
To ease my weary limb.’
--And then he rode off yelling, 'It's a trap!'

Old meme is old.Actually predates itself. Was used in dime porn
novels. Faded and then resurged or reinvented
via Fark/4chan/SA and the like.

A little knowledge can save embarrassment later.
