poem of the day July 21 

Indonesian cabinet

to big pine tree

My pet porcupine 

has a new destiny

With help from my

good friend Will

we caught the beast

It was quite a thrill

I was armed with a net

Will had a spade

we put down a tarp

our trap was soon laid

Carefully he opened 

the teak cabinet door

The porcupine darted

right out to the floor

Down came my net

Will's spade pinned it too

but it started to escape

there was only one thing to do

We quickly folded the tarp

into a waiting garbage can

And after a struggle we put

the beast into my van

Then we drove it away

to a big pine tree

Where we watched it climb

The porcupine was free
