Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

I Got Bit

I got bit
Three times.
By what?
I do not know.

Up the leg,
Past the knee.
Itch
Unmistakable.

Beforehand,
I spied
An ugly spider,
With a white dot.

After Brunswick stew
And my husband’s wings,
Pretzel sticks with mustard
And onion rings.

Yummy in the tummy —
but
what
bit
me?

I do not know!
will
i
go
back?

The food was great
but so’s the itch.

Quoth Theraven June 23, 2019 at 9:51 PM Kim, I read this poem to the tune of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". Reminds me I need more calamine lotion. -Richard Kim Rodrigues June 24, 2019 at 5:57 AM lol, Richard!
