Apparently that thread on alt.tasteless is somewhat famous as most references on the net refer back to it.

a little googling came up with this :

THE CAT AND THE QUEEN

Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat where have you been?
I've been to London to look at the Queen.
Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under a [her] chair.

One explanation of the origins of this rhyme goes back to 16th century England. One of the staff of Queen Elizabeth I (Good Queen Bess) was said to have had an old cat which tended to roam throughout one of the royal residences. On one occasion the cat apparently went underneath the throne (the "chair") and its tail brushed against the Queen's foot, startling her. Luckily Queen Elizabeth was amused and declared that the cat could wander through the throne room as long as it kept it free of mice!

Another suggested meaning of this relates to the poor hygiene of a different queen and is perhaps a cautionary tale about hygiene in general. Undergarments were uncommon among poorer women before the nineteenth century and dust, ash and general grime accumulated on the genitalia just as it did elsewhere on the body. Bathing was uncommon (indeed it was considered positively unhealthy) and while the hands and face would be washed, other parts were often overlooked for weeks or months, particularly those parts that would incite lustful thoughts if touched. One result of this was the accumulation of grime, cellular debris, menstrual discharge and natural secretions in the vaginal cleft. Quite substantial amounts could accumulate until their size and weight caused them to fall out while the lady was walking or when she rose from her chair. These accumulations were called sootikins and resembled small mice in colour and shape.

Accounts written by Pepys and Boswell, mention men employed in London churches to sweep up sootikins after services. There is a scurrilous anonymous account of a sootikin being allegedly found under Queen Anne's chair in St Paul's Cathedral in London during the Thanksgiving Service for the end of the War of the Spanish Succession. The nursery rhyme contains all of these ingredients - London, a queen, a chair and a "mouse" underneath the chair. In addition, the word "pussy" is both an affectionate term for a cat and a slang term for female genitalia. In addition to the "pussy" and "mouse" meanings, "queen" is a term for a female cat and female cats are notoriously promiscuous. This has led to alternative suggestions that the rhyme may alludes to promiscuity or prostitution.

A Scottish dialect version has the cat catching a mouse on the stair and putting it in his lunch sack to eat later on. Those who hold to the Elizabethan meaning of the English version, might feel that the Scots version refers to the problems between Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots. Perhaps the Scottish puss was Mary and the fat mouse was Elizabeth. Until her execution, Mary remained a focal point for Catholic conspiracies against the Protestant Elizabeth.

Poussie, poussie, baudrons, where hae ye been?
I've been to London, seeing the Queen.
Poussie, poussie, baudrons, what got ye there?
I got a guid fat mousikie, rinning up a stair.
Poussie, poussie, baudrons, what did ye do wi't?
I put it in my meal-poke, to eat it to my bread.

Ok, I have read through the thread but I'm afraid of clicking the link. Can someone just tell me, please.

God damn. It was a bad decision to read this thread.

Actually, it wasnt a choice. A wizard came to me and said "I give you a choice, young padawan. You can either read the thread about the sootikin, or you can be hanged." I said "Surely wizard, I would rather be hanged!" In a twist of depection, he taped my eyes open and made me read the thread anyways.

I shall never be the same.

Good God! Can you imagine snuggling up to your wife back then? I mean, not do you knock the bottom out of it and not squish the Sootikin?

I've often wondered about female hygiene in years past.

Perhaps women who shower or bathe regularly might taste better than the rennaisance fair types.

I have actually seen this kind of shit. I have had old ladies come in and be admitted. We do a full head to toe assessment. It smell to High heaven and will break off pulling hair and skin with it.
It leaves behind a discolored liver looking labia where it was attached. My buddy and I joke this kind of stuff turns us gay for a week. You can not immagine the funk of the smell. Dark ages my ass, it is here in the 21st century...
