71. An Unfortunate Family -

The wife and the husband both suffer from piles,
And so does their daughter, her husband, and boy.
The ulcer their steward and bailiff defiles,
And every farm-hand who is in their employ;
There are piles on them all, both on young and on old:
But piles of farm produce you'll nowhere behold.
