The porcupine, as we all know,
Is not a cuddly creature.
He always seems on pins and needles
And sharp retorts are his main feature.

The porcupine is, by nature,
Always slightly out of joint.
And if you try to argue with him,
He’ll make certain that you get his point.

Now Mr. and Mrs. Porcupine
Are not a loving couple.
For them to hug and court and cuddle,
They’d certainly have to be quite supple.

We know that Mrs. Porcupine
Only has one child a year.
It’s not because she likes small families,
I think it’s probably out of fear?
