CAPTAIN SCRATCH

Whats worse than an itch is one you can't scratch

Especially between the shoulders and back

Its worse than a burn

You may twist, you may turn

But just can't reach that patch

What I would give for a trifling friction

to alleviate this annoying obsession

that disturbs my sleep

this want that creeps

and grows to a troubling affliction

Lucky the long armed nimble hero

whose fingers reach the distant narrow

the Shah of the Scrape

navigating the landscape

Willing to help those stuck in a limbo

He's the friendly wizard of Claws

Blessed with soothing sinewy paws

that mends the skin

from the urge within

Deserving a round of applause

I needed him most today I fear

For I had a tickle inside my ear

when Helmet clad

with no access had

I struggled my bike to steer

Be that it may, the feeling subsided

Gravity restored the head lopsided

and without incident

or grave accident

My scooter I safely guided

Some may call it an allergy

This craving that spawns jugglery

But if Captain Scratch

Has my back

He'll avert all future calamity
