Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Proper Etiquette - LP Zoo

Flora is enjoying her lunch

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

She likes nibbling on plants a bunch.

Prehensile tailed porcupine who

Daintily holds the plant while she

Chows it down in ladylike way,

All the while as cute as can be,

Quite an adorable display.

If she should feel threatened at all,

Her munching plants will cease so that

She can roll into a quilled ball,

And feel safe in her habitat.

Visitors just watching for sure

Don't amount to a threat to her.
