Porcupine Soup Poem by Practicing Poetess

Porcupine Soup

Rating: 5.0


A pot of boiling water
And some porcupine quills
A dash of salt and pepper
And a pinch of dill

A handful of barley,
A peeled tomato
A bit of minced onion,
And sliced potato.

You stir it all together
Then, simmer the goop.
And- -voila!
You have a tasty porcupine soup.


(Minus the porcupine. Only quills) .

Great use of the word porcupine. This would go good together with a Neil Diamond song called " Porcupine Pie" . Great work.

Could not resist the title on this one! Very imaginative! I would much prefer the actual flesh of the porcupine in my soup rather than the quills. The quills might be high in fiber, but probably low in protein and taste! I've been told that porcupine meat is actually very tasty, but it must be hard to skin a porcupine!

Ick! (Shudder) . The porcupine will remain forever in my poem, but never on my plate! I prefer well-known types of meat, such as beef, veal, lamb, chicken, turkey, cornish game hens, occasionally some venison or rabbit or duck. Are you getting hungry yet?

A bizarre soup... One of a kind. A unique and well crafted write. Very entertaining.

Thanks, Rose Marie! One of a kind, is right! Fun to read about. To eat- - Not so much!
