Prickly love

hey, I can't help it if I was born silly.

The porcupines finally uncoupled

A stupid grin on the male’s snout

And the female happily snuggled

With a love story to brag about

The male suddenly started to rue

“It’s a business doing pleasure with you”

Your delightful little poem suggests that some people are difficult to love . . . I resemble this message. My prickles always get in the way of a smooth, loving flow! *smile* . . . Altho written with much playfulness, your deeper message is honed to a sharp point. I always love using natural phenomena to illustrate human nature.

:))))) care to take a look at what I commented on emmajoy's review? that'd save me the trouble of repeating myself. you reviews never fail to make my day B. thank you.

A love poem that bristles with eye watering speculation. But surely, that was the point.

Loved it, Woody . I'm now going back to my bed of nails to contemplate it further

Cheers, Norman

[Woody]

haha I didn't know you were a fakir, Norman. that's a good one.
thank you very much my friend. glad you enjoyed my silliness.

[emmajoy]

You mean men think of it only as business? You surprise me, Woody and there was i thinking they're the real romantics! You really do turn facts and fun upside down... love it!

[Woody]

aah but I was talking from experience, Dear. when your wife is too fat in the first place (and in the second place, too, come to think of it) it can be a damn business, I can tell you :)
ta very much em. glad you liked it.

[wolfshrew]

This warms my cheeks and the silliness feels good.

[Woody]

haha glad you like it. thanks wolfshrew :)

[Roland Petrov]

Ah, I get it: Don't get naked in a cactus garden. You, my dear Woody, were not born silly; you were born to punch lines!

[Woody]

haha thank you Roland. that's a good one :)
being a firm believer in reincarnation, I dread coming back as a male porcupine.

[SyberRose]

Love the last line Woody ha...and love the witticism as always....Rose:)

[Woody]

thanks loads Rose. just being my usual silly self :)

[Nadia B.]

You definitely added a smile to my day with this clever poem, thank you for sharing! I believe this should be hung outside court wedding offices, to show the true nature and what means being a (especially married) couple. So often the woman will imagine the fantasy or live it and think how she can brag about the 'perfect moment', where as the man enjoys the moment by trying to add some humor or slight touch of sarcasm. As long as no one gets...'prickly' about it, the ending is all in good fun, however the wonderful play with words in your last line "It's a business doing pleasure with you," ...just fantastic. Please keep writing!

[Woody]

thank you so much for stopping by Nadia. I'm thrilled you liked this one.
true, marriage is not always a bed of roses. it can be thorny at times.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

This was cute. Truly a touchy business, this pleasure.

[Woody]

thanks a lot Fabian. believers in reincarnation must dread coming back as male porcupines.

[Brittany Zedalis]

I worry for the poor fella. This was amusing to say the least. ^-^

[Woody]

when I die I don't want to come back as a porcupine.
thanks a bunch Luna. glad you found it amusing :)
