How do you hug a cactus? I’d really like to know.
You see, I love my cactus,
and my hugs will help it grow.
But cactuses are spikey,
their cuddles hurt my skin.
How do I solve this problem?
Just where do I begin?
My mum said, ‘Shave the spikes off, like I do with hairy legs.’
But who would want their cactus
to be smooth like hard boiled eggs?
I quickly started working, I did not take a break.
Cutting, gluing, sewing hard, my hands began to shake.
