The Secret Vice

Claudette

Oh I know I shouldn’t do it
– it will fill me with remorse –
so I listen to your good advice,
nod, and say “of course”.

But in the secret moments
when no-one is around
I give in to my impulse
and the pleasure to be found.

They urge me not to do it,
but my resistance is no match,
to the irresistible, insistent urge
to scratch and scratch and scratch!

      Thanks. I like to keep them fun when I can. However, it isn’t fun when that itch strikes.

      Oh No, I am sorry. But just the thought of itching does seem to be contagious. Hope it goes away soon.

      Nope, just a pinpoint spot that cries out for attention continuously. 🙂
