The Porc-U-Pine
A glance upon the porc-u-pine
Reveals that it is neither
Pork nor pine;
And why the ‘u’ between -
To bind? How novel -
Having ‘u’ for glue!
All around the world are people;
Some scream for ice cream,
Others cry for French fries;
But it’s no good to pine
For a quilly porc-u-pine
That’s not to eat or to climb!
A prickly-textured beast,
A sort of cactus with eyes and teeth;
And for mobility, four feet.
As neither friend nor foe am I,
Only a strange fragile-skinned passerby,
Porc-u-pine, to you I say, “Bye!”
