And if major Nelson got out of line

Porcupine

If you happen across a porcupine,
Staring upon the Milky Way,
It’s because he thinks he’s an Alien,
and longs to return home one day....

“It’s a snail, crept up on
by a spider, mutating into a
porcupine, being eaten by a jellyfish!”
What a work of art!
I apologize, mere words cannot describe it!...

Perforated opossum practicing as pro

like the quills of porcupine

His prickly quills were more than a few,
her black ink was seldom used,
octopus in sink,
porcupine got ink,
their writing poems making headline news.

some mornings before my coffee
i feel as prickly as a porcupine
and don't want anyone nearby
precious silence respectably
a most welcomed blessing

Pity the poor porcupine
  on what kind of chair can it dine

It cannot sit on its rear end
  for its quills will not bend

And if it stands on its head
  it will surely be dead...

There once was an oversexed hedgehog
Who had eyes for an exuberant frog ~
   They had themselves a good yuk
   But then got stuck, just their luck ~
Green porcupine baby's home’s in a bog...

Persnickety porcupine are you a rodent then?
Are those quills at the end of your tiny chin-chin?
To the ocean, have you ever travelled or been?
Swimming with porpoises next to your prickly skin?...

Spiky hair.
Brittle.
Porcupine,
hedgehog,
spiny anteater
echidna,
kid.

Grow up prickly.
Grow up quick.
They raze -
rib dig.

Hurts in his alphabet soup.
Jeers jar.
quills quiver.

Curled up,
face tucked
into heart....

Beneath a moon divine
Yearning hearts will intertwine
Lone avid lovestruck feline
Awaits her friend the porcupine

Drinking and Playing


Drinking and drinking Irish whiskey and red wine
They all thought they saw a spotted giraffe recline
Statistics say play
Oh ya, come what may
then they started playing with a fat porcupine.

Four lines -- seven, eight, nine:*
 kaleidoscopic kangaroo
 leaping 'cross lagoons of blue
    splashed peripatetic porcupine
    who shot a quill at her behind

Have you ever dined with a porcupine?
I mean have had a meal, rather fine?
Maybe not a dinner, but glass of wine?
Did he prefer a soup spoon or a fork with tine?
The reason I’m curious, please don’t wine…
I’ve invited him to your house at a quarter to nine....

What is that animal peeking through the leaves?
Animal laughs as he hears the forest fairy wondering aloud.
Porcupines speak Fair-esh, you know, he thinks.

Ah, a midgespout, she says.
He is indignant now.
He had no ideas that fairies called porcupines midgespouts....
