Blackberry Bush
I am a blackberry fruit
Dark and shiny and plump
Growing wildly on the roadside
Sprawled on an old tree stump
I'm fragrant and enticing
Admit it, I know you fancy me
You just can't resist my charms
I'm a tasty bite and free
Think jams, puddings and pies
Sweet treats galore I proffer
Come over here, why don't you
And see what I have to offer
It's a bit of a tangle, I know
I'm behind a lot of vines
Tucked behind some prickly thorns
Ones with very long spines
What's that? You pricked your finger
That's a shame, but never mind
Stretch a little bit further over here
The vines are less entwined...
And now, of course, he's fallen in
He was psychologically pushed -
Never underestimate the cunning
Of a blackberry bush.. ambush!
