Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Ms Echidna

As a female echidna, I
Sometimes feel that nature gave me
A heap of burdens to get by.
An egg laying mammal I be.
I burrow in to hybernate.
Some one night stand male does sneak in,
Takes off, leaving me impregnate.
A few weeks, I lay an egg, then
A few weeks, babe "puggle" does hatch.
A few weeks more, make milk to feed,
Not from nipples, but from "milk patch"
From my pouch to fill "puggles" need.

For those who think my life is fun,
This momma's work is never done.
