    This doesn’t have to do with the poem (does a sea-side rose smell salty?), but I found something I thought you’d appreciate: This porcupine thinks he’s a dog!

      Oh yeah, that video’s great! It never occurred to me that one could pet a porcupine if wearing sturdy enough gloves.

        I think he’s chewing on the gloves too…

        I was amused by how enthusiastic he gets about getting the attention… quite a contrast to their usual shyness.
