Just a bit of fun. Written 2016.


Once upon a bit of never

There was a canine that thought himself clever

He decided to spend his idle time

Befriending a lonely porcupine

The rodent sat in his cozy den

Writing on paper with his quill pen

The puppy tried to start to play

But the porcupine just wrote away

Whatcha doing; is it fun?

Why don'tcha come out, then we can run

I like to bark and roll and jump

Don't just sit there like a hairy lump

We can play in the soft, green grass

So come on out and get off your

Hey, whatcha got there, looks like a stick

I thought it was hair, but it's kinda thick

Is it magic, making those marks

I've seen those things outside parks

If we were there you could throw that thing

And I could run after it and bring

Or hey, lemme give it a smell

And of course I'll taste it as well

And I can chew it up, you see

So then it'll smell just like me

And you'll always know that it's mine

What do you think friend porcupine?

Chewing's a basic canine habit

Come on now, just let me have it

You prickly pig, I won't ask again

I'm not leaving until you give in

I'll wait steadfast all day long

Dogs are known for standing strong

Doesn't matter if it starts snowing

Hey Mr Squirrel, where ya going

That's a fluffy tail, can I have a smell

Of course I'll have to taste it as well

The porcupine sighed, "Such a silly dog.

You can't have my pen, I'm a quill hog."
