When you pick a pear, try to use the claw.

Prickly pear cactus flowers are out for the summer. Every time I see one I get this song in my head on loop:

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?
