A Scratch One Has To Itch

~ Self-Portrait of a Scratchy Artist ~


Oh, it's just a scratch one has to itch
  Even if in one's voice there's a hitch
    And in every attempt an annoying glitch
The finished product never going to make one rich

Yet if one doggedly continues to itch
  Onlookers, sooner or later, may twitch
    He will finally have found his special niche
As a writer of poems liberally categorized as kitsch
