I assume you have picked on Nantucket because one of the most famous limericks of all time features that location. I always thought limericks were supposed to be funny (preferably risqué as well). I honestly have to say I don't know what a "pestering thrum" is. I will go and google it.

when they jump on it's back
but the fact is, they're trying to screw it
