The Itch

I've a growing b-tch of a persistent itch plaguing a part down under in a well-hidden spot sweaty and hot tearing my sanity asunder I long for a table legs sturdy and stable for a really quick rub up-and-down even a toothpick or any such gimmick heaven help; it's now inside my crown Tightly I'm tethered I grin but nay bear it for relief lift my legs a mere tad the heat's volcanic the swelling gigantic as far as itch goes this is bad Mouth starting to foam I hobble on home I've mere minutes 'fore madness takes hold my head's on the spin an orchestra within one step from insanity's threshold Once inside my abode rev to fast turbine mode my eyes and my fingers a-twitch on the verge of cuckoo I kick off my shoe with relish scratch the dastardly itch I curse, for this morning I disregarded Ma's warning: "Today sultry and hot is our weather to avoid insanity wear shoes that are comfy not those ones of el cheapo leather."

Ouch! I hate this scourge. Fortunately, I've not had it for some time. You have a lot of interesting subjects to write about. I love it!

That is very humorous and you most definitely had my mind wandering to the wild side. It was hard to imagine a foot as the object of your distress until nary the end. Very well done. Terry

I have been plagued with pruritus as well in a very private area. I might be allergic to something because a small rash develops. Good poem. I see you have had little activity here in the past year. Welcome back.

SomehowI lost you but now found you again. I'd hate to tell you whereI though the itch was and I believe you meant to. Perfection in rhyme and too funny for words.

An entertaining poem. Some of those itches really can drive you mad...especially the ones you can hardly get to!

LOL I was thinking Hemorrhoids, Delysia, but athlete's foot can be very annoying. Good advice on finding the right shoes. Got a kick out of your poem! Love, Carolyn

I agree my friend. When it's hot and the humidity is high you get prickly heat in the darndest places. Even in your shoes. This had me giggling from beginning to surprise ending. Loved it. God Bless, JB

Shoes can be very uncomfortable in the summer for sure..Sometimes we have to go with less style or beauty and go with comfort..This is especially true in the south. Very creative thoughts to turn into a poem..Thanks for the kind comments on my work "Aries Woman"..I have finished it and the finished work is posted..Sara
