Sometimes tall and big,
Sometimes very small.
You don't grow treats like apples or figs,
But to some you're the best of them all.
Your pointy needles are a hatred to some,
But to most they are a wonder.
Strong against all who come,
Holding against the roaring thunder.
On the outside you may seem prickly,
But you inside is very tricky.
