Ain’t your porcupine
I ain’t a porcupine
I ain’t your sister
Come on boy
I’m running out of time mister
I been wanting you
For quite some time
Thinking of you now makes me blue
Please come and make your self mine
Cause I’m running out of time
The days are getting longer
Daylight getting shorter
Fewer words now that I can rhyme
Cause all I wanna do
Is

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

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?

Porcupine and Porpoise
Porcupine fell in love with Porpoise today.
Protective quills ready at the stay.
Porpoise dove down with his blunt snout.
Porcupine smiled; in love with the lout.
It can never be actualized Porcupine said.
But I will love you totally until the day I am dead.
Porpoise said, “I feel exactly the same about you. “
They were star crossed lovers, these

Why the Porcupine Cannot Dine With the Queen
Pity the poor porcupine
on what kind of chair can it dine
It cannot sit on its rear end
for its quills will not bend
And if it stands on its head
it will surely be dead

Porcupine Love
There was a girl that once loved me,
She was all furry like a kitten,
Ever cute, ever radiant she was,
I was the opposite,
I was covered with quills all over,
So rough and rugged like a King’s meadow that had turned to hay,
But drawn to each other were we,
We who knew no love,
I knew no love because I

Porcupines Speak Fairesh
What is that animal peeking through the leaves?
Animal laughs as he hears the forest fairy wondering aloud.
Porcupines speak Fair-esh, you know, he thinks.
Ah, a midgespout, she says.
He is indignant now.
He had no ideas that fairies called porcupines midgespouts.

Have You Ever Dined With a Porcupine
Have you ever dined with a porcupine?
I mean have had a meal, rather fine?
Maybe not a dinner, but glass of wine?
Did he prefer a soup spoon or a fork with tine?
The reason I’m curious, please don’t wine…
I’ve invited him to your house at a quarter to nine.

Bear and Porcupine
I just ran into Miss Bear,
At the beauty parlor frosting her hair,
Says she's been there all day,
Trying to hide that pesky gray.
Said she has a date with Mr. Porcupine,
Looking later for a good steak and some nice red wine,
Despite the pain of her claws and his quills,
Their romance has been a great thrill.
Every time they

If you happen across a porcupine,
Staring upon the Milky Way,
It’s because he thinks he’s an Alien,
and longs to return home one day.

Porcupine
Porcupine
With prickly porcupine
I am deeply in love.
To caress her thigh
I put on a glove;
Pricks to wisely cheat
A new generation
To sire or re-create.
A porcupine’s desire
Is God’s wise plan:
Patient men to sire
With abusive woman!
