Creatures with Ankles

There's a baby porcupine inside each of my lungs. Two baby porcupines!

They make me cough. Because they're scratchy and prickly on the inner lung linings.

Every time I cough, a few quills are propelled from my mouth. The quills stick in to a wall.

Someday the porcupines will have no quills. I will have coughed all their quills up. Then they'll roll around.

Naked porcupines need fresh, cool air. It's why I do laundry.

Porcupines have ankles.

I'm gonna climb the wall using quills to hold.

They're gonna climb the walls of my lungs and come out my nose.

They have ankles.
