The Itch

I've a growing b-tch 
of a persistent itch
plaguing a part down under
in a well-hidden spot
sweaty and hot
tearing my sanity asunder

I long for a table
legs sturdy and stable
for a really quick rub up-and-down
even a toothpick
or any such gimmick
heaven help;  it's now inside my crown

Tightly I'm tethered
I grin but nay bear it 
for relief lift my legs a mere tad
the heat's volcanic
the swelling gigantic
as far as itch goes this is bad

Mouth starting to foam
I hobble on home
I've mere minutes 'fore madness takes hold
my head's on the spin
an orchestra within
one step from insanity's threshold

Once inside my abode
rev to fast turbine mode
my eyes and my fingers a-twitch
on the verge of cuckoo
I kick off my shoe
with relish scratch the dastardly itch

I curse, for this morning
I disregarded Ma's warning:
"Today sultry and hot is our weather
to avoid insanity
wear shoes that are comfy 
not those ones of el cheapo leather."

Eye Remembered Juan Valdez

Eye remembered Juan Valdez 
The price of coffee has inflated along with all the rest of beans and things. 
There is a place called Starbucks and that is how many ewe should have of the 
things 
the dollars not the things oh ewe (long pause) now where was eye at lets see? 
Eh? 
The coffee comes with cream AND chocolate and iff ewe add some caramel and 
cream 
The thing could cost a lot of dollars turning green in someone elses hands. 
There is still the old el cheapo place to drink. 
Eye like McDonalds but there is also Burger King 
And if eye am dispirit eye can go to Wendy's and get the thing that makes me 
happiest 
And give in to my craving except eye don't use cream eye drink it hot and black 
And pay as little as eye can of dollars that eye manage to give away every day 
To people who aer wealthier than eye. 
Eye just remembered that at the Market eye could get a jar of instant and be done 
With paying dollars for the stuff. 
Eye will just take a jar of instant coffee off the shelf and treat myself to the 
desease 
Of  Juan Valdez.
