Which, as we all know, means 'pain in the buttock'. I tried Google translate on the more colloquial Pain in the arse, which it rendered 'dolor in asinum' - or pain in the donkey. Which in turn reminds me of the young lady of Madras who had a most beautiful ass. It was not, as you'd think, firm, round and pink, but grey, long-haired and eats grass.
It depends whether the pain in the arse is in the buttocks or in the ... er ... outlet. The latter, I think, would be 'dolor in ano', if I remember my declensions right. English has to resort to 'arsehole' to distinguish between the options. Oddly, of course, in English slang, the arsehole is the person themselves, not the location of the pain they're causing.

She could have been a memsahib.

Two suggestions to improve accuracy.
1. There was a memsahib of Madras, who had a most beautiful ass. It was not as you'd think, firm round and pink but grey and long-haired and eats grass.
Or alternatively:
2. There once was a girl from Madras, who had a most beautiful ass. It was great of renown, though not round or brown, but grey and long-haired and eats grass.

Still and all, either way an ass poops,
requiring a toilet or scoops;
matters not what she eats -- grass or sweet treats --
her gastro-colic reflex makes "ooops" …

No.
There's an analogous case to Godwin's Law—once a thread devolves into toilet humor, any chance of meaningful discussion is over. Or, given that this thread died and sank blissfully, was already over.
Fuck that.
