Cockleburs love pants.
They jump with delight, then cling
To unwary legs.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires. -Khalil Gibran

Hi, Shadows.

I do believe that you're right. And if they manage to get into your pants pocket, they are a pain in the a**!

Hi, Tl.

This was a little bit of good natured fluff to go along with some of my sadder and more philosophical works. I am glad that you enjoyed it!
