Today I bought a hedgehog
for one hundred and
twenty dollars;
I don't usually dabble
on the hedgehog market
so I do not know the
going price.
I think I've been ripped
off.
The hedgehog, without
compunction,
had slipped into my
drain;
$120 is the call-out
price
for a drain-layer.
It wasn't Beatrix Potter;
The hedgehog was in so
sorry a state
I couldn't display it as
a trophy
on my mantlepiece.
I feel I've been done in
the eye.
How much would you pay
for a hedgehog?
P.S. The hedgehog in the photo is not Diana's hedgehog.

Did Mr, Mrs or Ms Tiggywinkle survive the ordeal? I would pay $120 for an echidna, which is near enough the same thing in Australia, were I into the native animal trade, which I'm not (it's illegal anyway!).
ReplyDeleteI hope the hedgehog lived and you could enjoy it.
