A Bothersome Itch

By Lotophagi

I have a
bothersome itch
it’s such an
othersome bitch
that squeaks and squirms
puts a hand to her perm
and squalls like a squirrel
in dire straits pounded under an estate.

it breathes out
its loathsome air
and I feel compelled to swear
that really all that dog is

is just

an oathsome liar.

Agreeing with june. The swinging axe rhyme just hooked me. Great concept. Pimp-elicious.
