Porcupine

A wild rodent of the rocky habitat,

Not shy to adapt tropical habitat,

Predators choose to stay away from it,

While, King of the jungle avoids touching it,

Long spiky back with sharp pointed white spines,

Climbing trees in order to find its cuisine,

Large rodents that no creature dares to attack,

Freely hanging around in their preferred spots,

Eating leaves, plants and any green it can eat,

Anger and rage leads it to gritting its teeth,

Its spines will hurt you, if attacked,

Watch out as they might come near!
