#100poeticanswer 78: Do You Want The Tickles?

A question randomly harvested off Twitter from a very cool seeming parent called @Iriedavi

Tickling is

A funny thing

It can be fun

Or frightening.

For some people

It feels OK

For others

It can cause dismay.

If we don’t ask

Before we touch

Each other, 

We won’t like it much.

To tickle

But without consent

Is mean

No matter how it’s meant.

This, you already

Know at three:

A thing some grown ups 

Cannot see.
