an entire forest
and you've somehow
scratched and carved your name
on every single tree

He cried, he jumped, he twirled.

White pearl eyes gazed at me
As I scratched behind his ears
His tail wagged as he left
Following the soft sound
Of the dogwalkers footsteps

To the scuffed, cabinet at home
Cost only thirty nine dollars
Well worth that price, to help organize our chaos.

Scratched my head,
Must allow

Why nuisance the world?

Get it right
Good night

by my walnut brain and my walnut head.
Then I saw Mr. Peanut, scratched my head,
and learned to think like a peanut, instead.

Premium Member As the Nose Grows

The puppet boy Pinocchio achooed
for he had a nose that grew and grew.
His cat Figaro scratched its back on that nose 
and Geppetto used the schnozz to hang his hose!

Gray scribbles scratched into black desks
the pent-up hatred of a thousand fiery days
J.Y.’s work is lost, but his rage
radiates and multiplies in our quiet moments

The Tex-Mex festival was bountiful
But it scratched my innards, much like steel wool

     When the cramps began
     Oh, how fast I ran

My impersonation of Old Faithful

The itching issue

The lady who had lice in her hair,
She scratched her head on the way to the fair,
Then she looked over here,
She pointed up in fear,
But it was not to be seen anywhere.

Selfee

Tourists in new shoes
Looking for the blues of news
Every one a David Bailey
Selfie mad and share me crazy
Man and woman dog and 
Have , you , scratched that selfie itch?

Later Love

Love's like a scratched record
that plays over and over again
When you can feel the needle wear out
and you wait for it to end
And it does-
When you walk away years later

Pile of Carpet

There once was a man from San Marcos
Came home to a strange pile of carpet
Didn’t know what it was,
Scratched a chin full of fuzz,
And said, “P’raps I’ll take it to market”

Sk8er

scraping and scrapping,
rolling on ramps,
trying tricks and falling flat.
Looking so determined although
you've been beaten,
just dont get anything,
scratched or swollen.

Premium Member The Orkin Man

I scratched and called the Orkin man. 
He sprayed and gently set his traps.
He smiled, reassuring me
with a one-month guarantee
31 days later. Karma came scratching back

Wildlife 47

A lion cub sat in the grass,
Merely watching gnus walking past,
He just scratched his hide,
While the rest of the pride,
Thought his attitude "Really quite crass!"

Jack Jack

Jack Jack found a limpet in his smörgåsbord
Which clung to his nose a real odd-bod
He rolled over the payment
And scratched up his fine raiment 
Cursing that damn spicy gastropod.

Leave It Alone

I had this annoying little itch
I'd scratch it with the right hand then switch,
so while I scratched it like mad
in the mirror things turned bad...
the itch became an enormous twitch!
