Or the prickly pear
If you prick a raw paw, next time beware!
Don’t pick a prickly pear by the paw, when you pick a pear try to use the claw!
But you don’t need to use the paw when you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue?
- jqgatsby 3y agoGolly! Thanks, Baloo!
- kstrauser 3y agoI heard that instantly when I saw “pawpaw”.
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoDo paw-paw give bears/non-human mammals any health problems (see Parkinson's discussion elsewhere)? (I see down thread that the paw-paw of Disney's Jungle Book would not be the paw-paw discussed here, I think? Baloo was a Sloth Bear, I think and I don't think they have those in N. America??)
- Asraelite 3y agoThe Jungle Book is set in India, so you would expect it to be a papaya but that doesn't really make sense either. This page talks about it: http://expatpawpaw.blogspot.com/2016/02/that-song-about-pawpaws-those-other.html?m=1 http://expatpawpaw.blogspot.com/2016/02/that-song-about-pawp... Honestly I'm kinda shocked that an article all about explaining what a pawpaw is didn't lead with the fact that the same word can refer to two completely different fruits.
- ubj 3y agoGlad someone brought up this reference :) This is what I thought of too. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5dhSdnDb3tk&t=1m14s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5dhSdnDb3tk&t=1m14s)

- DougN7 3y agoWas that from memory? If so, kudos to you!
- jmbwell 3y agoMy dad’s favorite movie growing up. He thinks of himself as Balloo incarnate. But I also have plenty other Disney songs memorized. Might be my only real talent!
