Never step on one

Prickle

It definitely doesn't tickle

Not even a little

Feels more like stepping on a sickle

You might scream just a tipple

Someone else might think you are walking around like a cripple

Do not let them belittle

It is more than a ripple

If you had a nickel

This might be fickle

It could become worth more than nickel

Then you might not scream

Everything time you stepped on a prickle
