Persnickety Porcupine

Persnickety porcupine are you a rodent then? Are those quills at the end of your tiny chin-chin? To the ocean, have you ever travelled or been? Swimming with porpoises next to your prickly skin?

Love the word "persnickety." Don't think I've ever used it in a poem, but I'm thinking about it.
