I can decode it, but I don't get it.

Maybe you're not old enough to have listened to Captain Midnight on
radio.

Maybe you're not old enough to have listened to Captain Midnight on

I've never listened to Captain Midnight. We won't talk about my age.
However, I am familiar with the fact that Ovaltine was touted on the
radio. Who is the telegrapher's daughter (and who is the telegrapher?)

The version I know isn't a limerick. It goes:

She was just a telegrapher's daughter,
But she did-it, did-it, did-it.

I did have Captain Midnight secret decoder, too. (The 1949 model, with
the crossed rockets), but it was just a two-wheel
alphabet-substitution gizmo. You got it for two bits and the
waxed-paper seal from the top of a jar of Ovaltine. The daily
messages, alternated Ovaltine blather with warnings about Ivan Shark.
