He

He wriggled and squirmed, Like a demented worm. Fidgeted and fumbled, Grimaced and grumbled, He jiggled and jived, Contorted and writhed, Kept saying Arrr, Like a wasp in a jar. He was out of control, This poor wretched soul, As he reached fever pitch, He found the itch, Which he scratched until, His body stayed still.

I have had this kind of an itch; it is awful! You describe it well. I felt it!

Oh my! Was it a bee sting? He must have been in agony. Yep, an itch can do that to you. Enjoyed your poem, Shirley.

Thank you, Gary. Sometimes little irritations bug you more than bigger ones...
