Oh this nasty itch,
far where I cannot reach
wish I were a contortionist,
to twist and turn with ease
and scratch that spot with bliss
till I bleed with relief.
Oh this nasty itch,
frustration expressed, hiss!
I wish you would desist.
Oh away, leave me at peace,
you’re far where I cannot reach
leave me be, stop this grief!
Oh this nasty itch,
niggling and relentless,
teasing and zigzagging.
I grit my teeth with my all,
close my eyes to keep my calm,
nails digging into my palms.
I pat my tresses, and smile
at the handsome dude smiling at me.
Why choose this moment you itch?
Oh this nasty itch,
planted by a witch
between my sweaty balls
right in a crowded hall
I dare not touch that spot
cos all hell will surely burst.
Oh this nasty itch,
this witchy spell’s a bitch
give me a comb, a fork
scarring worries me not.
The crowd keeps staring at me
oh look away i plead.
Oh this nasty itch,
Right in my black butt crack
compelling me to twitch
how to tell the boss
and make him understand
that i need to bail and scratch
I beg plead, save my face.
Oh this nasty itch,
I shudder with un-scratched need,
Tingly slowly all over,
crackling like raging fire.
Eyes darting, I search for escape
finding none, I groan in pain.
Oh this nasty itch,
To dig in and scratch, I wish
with iron sponge, maybe
though I might look a lil crazy
Just begone from me, I pray
and a thank you I will say.
Oh this nasty itch,
twitch, switch and bewitched.
prickly heat you sprout,
sparks of trouble you start.
glitch, sore and gore
what for, i plead to claw
to gnaw into my skin
and uproot the itchy root.
Oh this nasty itch!

LOL.
O ye itchy itch where art thy sting? Chai! Nay, I know where thy wicked sting is… and it hurts! Those itchy scenarios depict the feeling to the letter! Those awkward moments a second seems like forever, with the attendant water droplets gathering at the tip of the nose.
I like this. 🙂
Itch wey no get respect. and the relief you get when you finally find a spot to itch the life out of that itch.
The severity of the itch is proportional to inability to the reach it… that’s the real nasty itch.
Awesome joint poetry experience!
