Prickly Pear

After writing about eggs, I was challenged to write about a Prickly Pear. Enjoy.


Prickly Pear, oh Prickly Pear
hanging in my tree.
How will I get to you
and not get pricks in me?


If I climb your prickly branch
I'll get pricked for sure.
Won't you put away your pricks
you Prickly Saboteur?


If you weren't so prickly
I would enjoy your taste.
But, because you're prickly
Your juice will go to waste.


Oh Prickly Pear, I picked you
despite your awful prick.
But please be nice, Prickly Pear
'Cause you're acting like a dick.

I wondered if you interchange the prick and the dick and as always you did not disappoint.

I do believe you could look at a toilet seat and come up with a poem for it. So very clever! Michelle

I was not going to mention it, but a prickly pear is the fruit of a cactus known as Ficus D'India, widely known in the Mediterranean area, Africa and mid America. However, I think you deserve a poetic licence and I applaud you for your poem. Victor

Uhhmmm...do I detect a double entendre here, Rusty? :o) Your wit finds no ending for your humorous poetry! Thanks be...

I'd say your prickly-pear is totally different than those here in Texas, 'tho. Ours is a reddish pome (no typo) that grows atop a cluster of cacti - that has devilish long and sharp thorns! Ouch!
