Piles

At a recent funeral wake
My face was wreathed in smiles
No one guessed the reason why:
Anusol had soothed my piles.

Preparation H has its fans
That I really can't dispute;
But Anusol is just the tops
If relief is your pursuit.

Favorite Poets: Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke, Chaucer, Shakespeare to name but a few. And VERY IMPORTANTLY: Erich Fried, a leftwing Austrian of Jewish ancestry who fled the Nazis and became a British citizen in 1949., And, other writers (non-poets mainly): Raymond Chandler, Irvine Welsh, Anthony Burgess, Graham Greene, Charles Bukowski, John le Carré, Anthony Horowitz, Mick Herron, Margaret Attwood, Edna O'Brian, Maeve Binchy., Writers who I find vastly over-rated: TS Eliot, Virgina Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Phil Larkin, E.A.

Exactly...

what one needs for a funeral, when everyone is talking out their ass, about what a nice guy the deceased was, before he died.
