Prickly Attitude
#3 of Poetry
Just a bit of attitude. Written 2017.
I'm a quillhog; that's what I am.
Got a backside of spikes to protect my can.
If you haven't guessed, I'm a porcupine.
Whether you like it or not, that's just fine.
I go where I want and I do my thing
With a pack of prickle pokers on the tail I swing
Dogs don't bug me and my thorny mace
Any mutt that does gets a pincushion face
But if you're looking for love, there's no need to flee
Just keep it to the soft side and you can still cuddle me.
I'm a big furry rodent with a whole lotta pricks
You know that you love me, so come and get your fix
Now if you don't like the way that I tell my tale
Let me turn around so you can kiss my furry one
Mind the quills.
Prick out.
