Poem: The Invention of the Backscratcher

I have an itch on my back
that keeps annoying me.
I find it itchier than
the sting of a bee!


I have an itch on my back
that keeps annoying me.
I told my grandma,
and she said, "Drink some tea."


I have an itch on my back
that keeps annoying me.
I told my baby cousin,
but all he said was, 
"One, too, tree!"
I have an itch on my back
that keeps annoying me.
I told the homeless guy on the street. 
He said, "I'll help you for a fee."

I paid the man 
a buck or two.
He gave me a stick
covered in poo.

I had an itch on my back
that kept annoying me.
I now have a backscratcher,
and I'm as happy as can be!
