Under My Skin

Horsefly bites galore.
    Covered in weals with red spots,
    All under my skin.
    Scratching the itch was no cure,
    Nor was head-butting the door.

I experienced this in July on holiday in Scotland with my reduced family, owing to covid 19 rules. Only 6 people were allowed in a 6 bedroomed house set in 12 acres of woodland meadows and streams, with its own 15 metre suspension bridge. Also horseflies, the rest is history but true. Regards George.
