Blackberry Brambles

Some people don't like brambles
and try to stamp them out
but I adore blackberries
and I like the challenge
so I train them to the fence
tying new shoots every week
braiding them together
cutting away root stock
so it doesn't overrun the garden

Whenever I go away
I get back to a thorny jungle
filled with juicy fruit
there is no way to reach

People say why not grow raspberries
you could graft them on
but I prefer blackberries

I train the brambles and they train me
it takes a lot of patience to grow blackberries
