Prickled Pickles Don't Smile

By Nikki Giovanni

Never tickle
A prickled pickle
Cause prickled pickles
Don't smile.

Never goad
A loaded toad
When he has to walk
A whole mile.

Froggies go courting
With weather reporting
That indicates
There are no snows.

But always remember
The month of December
Is very hard
On your nose.

This Poem is from a collection of poems copied by the Artis children in 2003. Originally from a book on African Poetry.
