Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Are You Sitting Comfortably - Gross Humour Warning

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

Lindsay Laurie October 11, 2021 at 7:03 PM 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 Jan Allison October 12, 2021 at 1:25 PM lol:-) hugs Jan xx
