I’m dining with my cousin Giles Who disclosed he’d terrible piles He’s wriggly and twitchy Cos his butt’s so itchy His visage is sad, there’s no smiles He’d tried using soft margarine This process had just made him scream So he did not linger With his index finger But Anusol worked like a dream I said it was my understanding That surgeon ‘s do hemorrhoid banding But if he has it done Sitting down he may shun On this subject I won’t be expanding! Next time I saw my Cousin Giles They’d successfully removed his piles So he can sit down No trace of a frown And Giles is chock full of smiles 10/09/21

Jan, you know how to bring the laughs about any subject known to humanity. Such a painful tail (ooops, I mean tale). Great pic too, I don't know how you keep coming up with them! Thanks for the smile, well done, and congrats on your POTD. Hugs ~ John

G'day Jan ... giles could have made a few quid selling his chairs and taking away the temptation of sitting down, but the doctor stuffed that up by banding. Giles is lucky the doctor's eyesight is good or he might have banded something close by - thanks Jan - Lindsay
