Damn Itch

Ever had a really bad itch And you scratch and scratch away Till the spot that you've been scratching Looks much like paper mache Sometimes you can't even find the spot You search around but it's fruitless Seems the damn thing keeps moving Dance a jig but you still remain clueless I'm sure it happens to every one of us From Nature's bag of devious tricks People go through a bunch of contortions Even throw down whiskey for a fix Here's what I would suggest, my friends Tumble in bed with a gorgeous filly Damn itch will seem much less important And you'll get some relieve temporarily There's one thing that's for certain, though It'll return just as soon as you're done You'll still have this annoying problem But let's face it, you sure had some fun! ©Jack Ellison 2012

This is the last poem I will be reading today. I will try and get back to reading more soon, as I did promise you I would read all of your poems posted. Tis a challenge to be certain, as there are so many, but I am having a great time reading them, and your work deserves loads of acknowledgement. Your poetry is conversational, relatable and lovable. You're a great joy to me! Always, Laura
