Clover Leaf Thing

at age 12 Chigger bites, mighty small, are no fun. Hard to see, they will bite any one. Get bit on that thing, laughter it will bring, when it swells like a clover leaf bun. A hot tub, a long soak and you rant. The sulfur smells horrid I will grant. Visiting, the kin, trying to get in, but the one gets a look is my aunt. Jan 2010 For Deb's Contest 9/9/5/5/9

Just wanted you to know I got the humor in that last line. Embarrassing? Perhaps, but better your aunt than a stranger.

Darn I hate those chigger bites, Charles. Great poem. Very funny! Congratulations on your win. I'll check out the poem you suggested in Soup Mail. I hope I find the right one - you didn't give me the title, but maybe I'll find it anyway. Love, Carolyn
