Don’t be fooled by the beauty

Of the prickly pear cactus you see

There are thorns the sizes of needles

One look, and I think you’ll agree

Though the fruit can be rather tasty

It has other uses as well

No need to bother with the salon

Just grab some pure pear gel

There are many more ways to enjoy these

Just try them, little by little

Still, best to watch where you’re grabbing

Else you’ll land yourself in the hospital

Painted lips and flaxen hair

Deliberately, her skin she’d bare

They called her wild, undomesticated

How easily men became outdated

A tigress, she crept, in search of prey

Rarely, did she let them get away

She’d conquer, control, a sordid affair

They’d lose their minds, to get their share

Persistence, was her claim to fame

Head-strong, she would never tame

The mountains must move

To let new steps be taken

Making way for more

I used to be her favorite dream

A nightmare now, is what I seem

She dare not open up her eyes

For I am one who petrifies

The small one, when she falls asleep

I’ll wait, until she slumbers deep

Then frighten her, awake, she’ll cry

I’ve never really understood why

I used to think she cared for me

Now, she’s just plain scared of me

She was both prim and quite improper

A beauty of questionable taste

Scooped up the gents, like a hopper

Did so, with incredible haste

She didn’t care what they thought of her

Glitz and glam, was all she needed

Still, they would always misconstrue

Didn’t matter, how much she pleaded

Left to her wiles, she found pleasure

In letting them have their free will

Merrily rejoicing, for winning the prize

Until she handed them the bill
