The Lush in Us All
And what do you see?
Kiosks filled with cactii -
Approach carefully.
A prickle-ly fruit,
You're tempted to try
Sabra who's standing there
Implores you to buy.
Yet, thorny spikes
Meta - for - ick -ally,
Advertise danger
Inevitably
Cactus fruitfully
Urges the meek:
Bypass the thorns
Continue to seek.
