Brrr, when the wind blows,
Burrs in the dog’s paws,
Burrs on the backside.
Little stingers clinging,
Beware of sitting
After a woodland tromp.

My kids were going around a school picnic attaching them to people backsides. We found that even after you pull them off, they leave tiny spurs behind you can’t even see!
