crawling sensation

is there a little premeditation ~ to scratch an irritation or a bit of an itch ~ to tackle a rash without hesitation said a flea to a hive ~ it’s only my lousy interpretation By David Kavanagh

LOL, David…And, on top of the actual physical reality of what this poem presents, i found it a super metaphor for the other life problems life anticipating that the roof will soon need replacing, or i sense i need to have “The Tallk” with my pre -teen, or I feel a lump in my old dog’s belly, OR a dangerous missle is launched oversea…

Heya Sally I always love to hear when a reader sees a little deeper into my posts, yes there does seem to be an itch or nagging sensation about life in general at times, cheers David

Why is it the "itch" is always in the middle of one's back and you can't find the back scratcher? I like the set up of the poem - the contrasts and the little bit of naughtiness! Just plain fun, David! Cheers and blessings!

Well, if those lines don’t make people twitch with an itch, nothing will. Red ant bites, maybe.
