Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Farmer Giles

Poor old farmer Giles started hobbling
As his painful piles were a wobbling
When he sat down on ice
The relief was so nice
His tush is in need of remodelling

Farmer Giles is Cockney rhyming slang for Piles or haemorrhoids.

Duke Beaufort May 31, 2015 at 6:19 PM We have a bathroom, but the toilet in pink and the tiles are black. It's left over from the '50s. This is funny for those of us with piles under control. Getting old ain't no fun. The front/back of the picture confused me at first and I got really worried. Jan Allison June 1, 2015 at 12:07 AM yes I found the picture confusing he looks like he can turn his head 360 degrees lol:-) hugs Jan xx
