Notes About The Poem

A Pain in the Groin

Now here in Aussie land, exists a very hardy native creeping vine
reputedly produces berry fruit that is tasting rather fine

Can one harvest fruit, now that's a leading question  
It has long  protruding sharp spiky thorns, 
Maybe necessary to practice abstention

Now the man who took the time to give this plant a recognisable title, was he in lots of pain ?
affected by a thorn of the Cockspur, its common, but not botanical identifiable name
