I love you little porcupine

Don’t you love me too?

Then why is it you hurt me so

When I’m close to you?

I love you little porcupine

Won’t you love me back?

I’d never do you any harm

Why do you attack?

I love you little porcupine

Do you love me still?

But when I hold you close to me

Pierce me with your quill?

I love you little porcupine

Will you love me soon?

Please learn to love me gently

I’ll die from more wounds
