Adding to my canon of remarkable poetry

Written by hootenannie on May 27th, 2009

Itchy ankle, itchy ankle,
You’re the cause of all my rankle.

Damn mosquito, found my vein,
Your existence is my bane.

Can’t think clearly, can’t think straight,
Since my blood was made the bait.

All I want to do is itch,
Throw my body in a ditch

Of hydrocortisone.

    Oh Annie.

    My favorite is still the bra-shopping poem.

    I’m sorry you itch.

    I can totally envision this as a song. Just add that catchy country twang, add a chorus, and you’ve got the next big hit! ;)

    Genius. This kind of stuff hasn’t been written since “Poison Ivy”.

    I know we still haven’t met… but have I ever told you that you’re my hero? Really. I hope to transition into my post-college life as gracefully as you have… and maybe someday I’ll be as witty. and wise. and funny.

    Because you, my friend, are hilarious. Like laugh-out-loud in class while I’m reading your blog hilarious.
