When I first read this poem and came to porcupettes I started smiling. My wife noticed and asked what was going on. I showed her and she started smiling too. Happy moment. And we learnt a new word. 🙂
I found this humorous and think you did a good job with the misdirection before getting meta. From the first stanza I never would have predicted where the poem would have ended up. Nice way to defy expectations.

This comment put a smile on my face, too! Thank you for sharing, Thomas.
My pleasure, Adam.
I loved this one the first time I read it during the February Poetry Adventure, and I love it still.
Thank you, Tara!

Brilliant! Love the sound of the poem too.
Omg, your poem just taught me I can use “and” in place of “for” in a poem I’m working on and it’s a huge improvement. Thank you, Adam!
Thanks, Mike!
