Analysis of Fickle Tickle
Cough and cold are fickle
Each can be a sneeze
Cough and cold are tickle
Each can be a wheeze
Man and wife are fickle
Each can be a tease
Man and wife are tickle
Each can be a sleaze
Spring and Fall are fickle
Each can be a freeze
Spring and Fall are tickle
Each can be a breeze
Cash and coin are fickle
Each can be a seize
Cash and coin are tickle
Each can be an ease

Love and kiss are tickle
