Never Pet A Porcupine

Never Pet A Porcupine


I do believe it's by genetic design
That one should never pet a porcupine!
I know it goes against one's will,
To touch the lovely little quills.

Although you may admire their style,
Rarely will they leave a smile;
If you go and pet the 'Pine
He will surely make you whine!

If you must, please use some skill
Lest you err and gain a quill.
Hurt it will and tears may flow -
The pretty quill won't let go!

So never pet a porcupine!
Unless you want to make him thine.
He gives a gift that stays for days,
And sets the entry point ablaze!

You have been forewarned,
You have been adorned,
By our handsome little friend,
You pet the 'Pine and now must mend.

Never pet a porcupine !!!!
