Love Required Will Not Bite 10lines

I’m a hedgehog called Nick
With prickles that will prick
Keep away, keep your distance
Warning not to show persistence
But wait, I’m very lonely
And would welcome someone homely
Cuddling on a winters night
Squeezing her so very tight
Nightly dreams increase my plight
Love required will not bite

The most prickly, unwelcome people are the ones who push us away the most quickly and need us the most Ann. Your poem is a reminder of this!
