Chalfonts
By Phil
30 September 2007
Chalfonts - Chalfont St Giles - piles.

Me Chalfonts are givin’ us gyp.
They’re swinging round past us ‘ip.
I scream with great feeling
And raise up t’ceiling
When I get ‘um caught in me zip.

Been there, done it, seen the film, worn the T-shirt and rote the dissertation. 
Of course I wasn’t certain as to which Chalfonts you were alluding to??? 
 
Chalfont(s) could refer to: 
Chalfont St Giles, in Buckinghamshire, England  
Chalfont St Peter, in Buckinghamshire, England  
Chalfont Common, in Buckinghamshire, England  
Little Chalfont, in Buckinghamshire, England  
Chalfont, Pennsylvania, borough located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania  
Chalfont & Latimer station, a station on the London Underground Metropolitan Line which serves The Chalfonts  
Lord Chalfont 
 
And then there were the Chalfonts who used to live next door to me, total bastards!! I was pleased when they died unexpectedly from syphilis.  
 
All the best, 
Steve.

Steve, I do think you are being a bit deliberately dumb, here. Phil did say which Chalfont he meant in the pre-amble and none of the others actually rhyme. 
 
Get them caught in your zip!! blimey you get pretty bad ones when pregnant but I can't remember ever doing that. 
I suppose like everything else in Yorkshire you do it bigger and better

I'm working on it, Phil but I'm no good at the intellectual stuff

I don't do pre-ambles, foreplay and pillow talk is for girls! 
And who are you callin' dumb? At least I'm a natural blond!!!!

Oh yeah, BBS P.P.S. 
Of course the others rhyme. 
 
Chalfont St Giles, in Buckinghamshire, England  
Chalfont St Peter, in Buckinghamshire, England  
Chalfont Common, in Buckinghamshire, England

I think maybe Steve doesn't know that piles is what English people call haemmorrhoids.
Funny!

Great poem, Phil. It must be if it can make me smile at the moment! 
 
Piles are a pain in the arse, aren't they?! :grin

Of course I know what piles are!! English is my first language, as well as being my second, third and fourth language. 
But what are haemmorrhoids??????? 
 
All the best, 
Steve.

Ah. Cockney rhyming slang... I was beginning to fear I couldn't read English anymore, for I didn't understand a thing about it until I googled Chalfort St. Giles. 
:grin
