Spiky’s Christmas Decorations

Our little hedgehog Spiky
Has very envious heart
That’s why when he sees Pinky
Exciting doing things
He also needs to try them
Unless it’s daily chores.

And so one Sunday morning
On cold and white December
our piglet decorated
The house with bloody holly.
She put them on a staircase
To shine with green and red.

Then Spiky also wanted
To decorate with holly
But since he didn’t have it
He needed now to think.
And thinking isn’t strength
That is on hedgehog’s list.

So seeing Victor sleeping
In darkest house’s corner
He grabbed him and then fasted
Around the second staircase.
But Victor kept on sleeping
Because he loves the dark.

Then Betsy flew and wondered
What is the hedgehog doing
And Spiky said, “Come closer,
I’ll show you pretty ring.”
He tricked her and he put her
Beside where Victor was.

Now Dietrich was too curious
And came to check the turmoil
But being rather slow
He ended up like others.
“Release me!” screamed he madly,
“Or I’ll become giraffe…”

At last Cornelius discovered
Where all his friends where hanging
So flew he to the rescue
But Spiky took his wings
And fastened them with rope.
Poor Cardinal exclaimed:

“You think I want to be
Your Christmas decoration?
I want to fly around
While pooping everywhere…”
But Spiky was cold-hearted
And carried on his plan.

Then Pinky sitting focused
And solving Sudoku puzzle
Felt suddenly the quiet
In first floor living room.
She lifted up her head
But no one was around.

So piglet walked while looking
For Spiky and the others
Until she climbed upstairs
And saw the pretty scene.
“What’s happening?” she asked
And Spiky was ashamed.

Immediately he freed
His friends from staircase
And everyone was happy
But Victor still was grumpy
Because he like it there.
He said, “I want to stay.”

It’s hard to make him smile
Because his flies are sleeping.
And he is rather hungry
Throughout this time of year.
The only thing that worked
Was Pinky’s wisest promise

To let him be the star
On top of Christmas tree.
“Your flies will worship you”,
They’ll say, ‘please master eat us’”
Said Pinky to the spider
And Victor yelled, “hooray!”
