Tuesday, July 21, 2020 Thistle While You Work

Do not touch the thistle.
It’s a weed that is noxious.
Let’s go all the way
And say it’s obnoxious.

Blowing on it does nothing
But make you a thistle blower.
If you thistle while you work,
Your weeds will need a mower.

Rubbing it on your hands
Makes you clean as a thistle
While thistling in the dark
Sounds too much like a missile.

And of course a train thistle
Is one that says “toot, toot!”
And I’m not just thistlin’ Dixie
When I say “I am Groot.”

A thistle-stop tour,
Can only end in pain.
So just wet your thistle
And pull it out again.

If it bares its fangs at you,
Why then, it’s a wolf thistle.
Oh, and a really fancy one,
Has got bells and thistles.

You’re probably getting weary,
And wish I weren’t such a goon.
So I think I’ll just go off
And thistle another tune.

I’ll probably thistle this in the morning.
