THE TOUCH-ME-NOT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: So ticklish is my skin
Last Line: And bid you touch-me-not.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Flowers


So ticklish is my skin
That if you touch my side
The little seed within
Will laugh and split me wide.

So, when I see you near
The mirth-provoking spot,
No wonder that I fear
And bid you touch-me-not.
