Jump On Back of This Porcupine

Pixie’s favorite steed is a porcupine. I thought this was an exaggeration, some kind of line. Surely that is not true, don’t they have prickly quills? If you get them young, they will give you thrills. I took a look at the porcupine and I laughed like a louse. Pixie's porcupine was actually a regular field mouse. You mean it is fun to be galloping on a porcupine? Oh, yes, and you can bring your sandwiches and dine. You will have a fine time, a really fine time, cousin of mine. Just jump on the back of this porcupine! I commented on how soft the porcupine was to the Pixie. But my muse and I secretly laughed; her name is Trixie.
