Pinpricks

Even an unshared Cadbury bite

Can be an act of pinprick spite.

Between a prank and perversion,

Minds move in murky direction. 

A silly brain has its stock of grain

To chaff husks,of pinprick strain.

Pinpricks have a flavor for pain,

Doing things for pleasure to gain.

Damage is less but danger is more

To those,who cannot bear the sore.

If someone is boisterously bossy,

The routine is raucously noisy.

Teasing by peers,tears like tawses

Breaking the thongs of the bosses.

Children bear parents'pinpricks 

To pay them later with tiny tricks.

Between the husband and wife

On a frontier of endless strife,

Who pricks to cause more pain,

Points to,who is shrewder to gain.

It is the tone that fixes the point,

With words cutting off the joint.

If a teacher pricks,students gulp it

To return him the pain,doubly fit.

Those who govern can pick to prick,

With rules that rise,to give the kick.

Pin pricks can be a pachyderm pact,

For those who can ignore it with tact.

From the pains of pricks,some resign.

Others resign to pricks,sucking the pain.
