The cactus is blooming so pretty. It says, "Oh eat me, please!"
It sits in the sunny window, framed by the backyard trees.
It's leaves are scarred by beak marks, where 'keets have eaten before.
And the hungry 'keet came flying-
Flying-Flying-
The hungry 'keet came flying, up through the open door!
"One bite of you, yummy cactus! So crunchy and so sweet!
And then I'll take another bite. You are my favorite treat.
You always hurt the one you love...Yikes! A foot upon the stair!"
Woe betide the greedy 'keet-
Woe betake the greedy 'keet-
Who's caught in the sunny window, eating cactus there!
