andymorley's pomes | RIDDLE-ODE...

You it was, used by the witch, to drug the sleeping beauty,
You don't do you to my conscience for failure of my duty...
Left upturned upon a sofa you humiliate the snooty
You're quite the Little Richard if you get my tutti frutti...

Many of you used in torture, make your victim cry for mercy,
When pointed at the porcelain you're also known as 'Percy',
Tipped with poison in a blowpipe you could put me in a hearse,
But right now your only power is to rant and rave and curse.

You it is that arms the briar which grows so strong and quick...
You're also on the thorn bush that makes the hedge grow thick,
You pierced the mighty lion's foot and made his paw to lick,
You deflate balloons at parties, in fact you are a ?????
