Date created: 23rd December Sponsor Name: Edward Ibeh Contest: This or That Chosen title: Unscratched Itch
Folks of the suburbs sting thy heart Tongues of mosquitos suck thy soul Stories leak no finish nor start The histamine I can’t control Spreads out from cranium to my toe. All lips kiss thy cheek for one goal. Pictures they sow just come and go If I did not give two sharp pins Yet, I do. Must go with the flow Threw all their sins into the bins Kicked a sly snitch right in the ditch Yet he’s still a flashback that spins Hence, whether I’d think of the pitch Would always be an unscratched itch.
