Not That Finger

-

Pardon me, yes you right there
upon the curb you linger
I wonder if you wouldn’t mind
to share with me a finger

For this you see, the strangest place
there is a spot that’s itching
I’ve tried to reach, with no success,
my shoulder blade is twitching

I used a tree, a street light post,
a wall with cedar thatching
A picket fence, a garden rake,
but none were good at scratching

So if you would, please help me out,
into my back start ripping
Hey that’s not nice, your finger choice
at me, you now are flipping
