Out in the mountains a camping trip
walk all day till there is a nightfall.
Spot selected for pitching the tents.
Move to attend to the nature's call.
As one crouches among the bushes,
fear strikes from insects that roam,
one of these creepy crawly creatures
may well decide to find a new home.
Disaster strikes as the Bichoo Booti
come in deadly contact with the skin,
causing such an indescribable itch
that makes one yell with a silly grin.
The local guide gives us this advice
apply wild spinach leaves on the spot.
Suggestion is accepted, balm applied
this gives some relief but not a lot.
While this experience was unsettling
one has this view to remove the glum,
to have become the only person who
used spinach leaves to wipe his bum.
