Prickly Pear
Oh Prickly Pear,
Why do you pop up everywhere
Upon this river wide and fair?
Prickly Pear
Cactus out there,
Despite my long and gazing stare
Your camouflage did bring to bear
Your thorn inside my foot.
Prickly Pear
Oh Prickly Pear,
Why did you prick without a care
My sandaled foot all pink and bare?
Prickly Pear
Cactus out there,
How river travelers must beware
Your angry thorns that bite and tear
The hiker’s wayward boot.
Prickly Pear
OH PRICKLY PEAR!
I long to shout and give you scare
Enough to make you quit your lair!
But I laugh, with glee within,
When instead you do prick Jim.
