Roses are yellow,
Belladonna is red
Prickly thorns 'n poison,
Can make me real dead
Kitties are scratchy,
Bite when they want
Bees when angry,
sharp stingers do flaunt
Snakes like to wiggle,
Make my skin crawl,
Their rattling tails,
Drive me right up a wall
Gator's a-smilin with,
Jagged-toothed jaws,
Lions and tigers,
with long pointy claws
Rhino a-chargin,
With long curving horn
I scamp up a tree,
Sit there forlorn
Yet happy I'm small and
Don't take up much space,
Cuz this world is a spooky,
And dangerous place!
