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 Started 10/11/19 Finished 10/15/19 Written for the: Itch, witch, glitch or twitch Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Nina Parmenter
