Analysis of Bugs in my Skin
Bugs in my skin.
They crawl everywhere from my head to my toe.
I hate them.
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy,
Itchy, itchy, itchy itchy itchy.
So terribly itchy indeed.
I squish them, but two more take their place.
Hundreds of bugs crawling in my skin.
There’s bugs in my skin.
So terribly itchy indeed.
