A Little Rash

The day was bright and sunny

I was thinking about writing something funny

The radio is on online

The songs I sing along with are fine

Messing about on Facebook

While reading from my e-book

The discussion in my group was all about rash

All the - since when, where, how much itchy was this rash?

What came up on Google when one looked for rash?

What can one do to get your mind off the rash?

It itched so bad that I could have clawed my skin off

As there are big red patches of skin all rough

Even as I refrained from itching

Vision came to mind of monkeys scratching

The lotions and potions that I applied

Cortisone cream will help they lied

The pharmacy cashier stared in surprise

As I lathered on the cream even before I paid the price

Instead of calming the itch and the angry rash

The little nerve endings increased their lash

The weather was cooling and I felt cold

But the itch would not let any sleeves be unrolled

So started the pill popping

Anti-Inflammatories and antihistamines in my system bopping

Off with this cream

On with another oil and cream

This time I was sure my doctor would have evidence

Active rash would back my verbal history with evidence

Then I had a bright idea to dab pure tea tree oil

The itchy waters were calmed with the pouring of oil

Now I have just a few odd reddish spots

Larges patches were now but little dots

My rash has calmed down just in time

To make me a liar for doctor’s appointment time

Typical when your body plays these tricks

They stick in your health’s fabric like little pricks

Now the only cure is to put that cream back

And get that itchy rash angrily back!
