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!
