It keeps on disturbing
Boring deep into my toe
It keeps on humiliating
Tilling my toe like a hoe
I keep on scratching
Unable to put on my shoe
This jigger in my toe
The tormentor of my life

Try as I can to see
This tormentor of my life
Am unable to see
For he cuts me like a knife
Am bent to the knee
Pleading for my life
This jigger in my toe
The tormentor of my life

He hides so deep
To give me a sleepless night
He makes me like a child to weep
Till night changes to light
He cannot even come out to peep
Due to the cry of my plight
This jigger in my toe
The tormentor of my life

Am tired.am fed up
With this tormentor of my life
HE HAS EATEN ME UP
Till my body has no life
I have decided to pluck you up
And out of you squeeze your tiny life
This jigger in my toe
The tormentor of my life

I shall wipe my tears
And fly like a butterfly
Fly to higher heights
And no longer tears shall I cry
Till I get doctorate honors
And be glory to my community
The jigger in my toe
Will be history in my life

The jigger happens to be a problem that really persistently disturbs you. It may be sin

very nice article @stbrians, keep it up.

Am grateful for the kind words

It's look like you suffered in pain.. 😢

It is agony. Some things are so deep

Very nice work, not familiar with jiggers, but looks like they can be very painful. Interesting how you equate that they may be sin in your response to @bloghound.
Keep up the work,
@sultnpapper

It was just figurative. Jiggers are a menace where I come from
