Scratch My Back

tricky business indeed

too hard to scratch ones back

Quite difficult in deed

a bit too hard to track

quite often tis dread

using fingers to spark

Do scratch clean my back

For me  yours do scratch

 

do my back to scratch

till clean and shiny

do till you leave no single patch

yours I will do without funny

here no tricky catch

there be nothing loony

Do scratch clean my back

For me yours do scratch

 

this game be no fair

yet we do it with insolence

tis a gesture not rare

the mighty and strong in it do dance

this needs a pair

for the crime to flair an offence

Do scratch clean my back

For me yours do scratch.

 

term it not justice

as it proves useless

make it not practice

lest it leads in a mess

do not refuse my advice 

For it must spell success

Do scratch clean my back

For me yours do scratch.
