Pruritic Poetry
There are many ways to scratch an itch...
if you are a goat!
No matter what the season,
it's due to that fur coat!
You can ask a friend for help....
Or you can scratch behind their back....
You can use your horns....
Your teeth....
Your hoof....
If you have the knack!
You can do it openly...
or maybe on the sly....
You can scratch on anything...
You only have to try!
And that, Dear Reader, is how our Mom entertains herself
on a warm summer afternoon!
(Or maybe she's just read too much Dr. Seuss!)
(Or maybe she's just read too much Dr. Seuss!)
With Slobbery Kisses.....Hickory and Maddie
