Like every great writer, Annie saves the twist for the last line. Prepare to have your mind blown.

YOUR POEMS Hedgehog by Annie Thompson Mr Hedgehog comes every night, Dashing for his plate of food. A quick drink of water to quench his thirst, Then he looks at his food, which I shall pick first. I give him a choice: On his plate he can have hedgehog food, on its own. Another night it can be kitten food, Or hedgehog food and kitten food together. And just as a special treat, mealworms, As top many, top often can make their bones poorly. Or as huge, huge treat, all three choices together. In the morning I can't wait to see if all the food has gone.. I open the door and, yes, it's gone, so then I pick up my night camera and take a look. It's so comical to see him eating his food. He gets so eager he even stands on his plate, turns this way and that, another drink of water. Then back to his plate and dives in. I love my hedgehog, But very occasionally there's two of them I catch on my camera.

This, the finest news story ever published, has once again appeared in my inbox, and it would be rude not to share it.

THRASHED BY A LADY CYCLIST. WHO IS NOTED FOR HER ATHLETIC POWERS. [SUBJECT OF ILLUSTRATION.] AN extraordinary scene was witnessed on Seturday morning in Peel Lane, a thoroughfare connecting Little Hulton with lyldesley, in which the principal participants were a young lady cyclist and a youth of nineteen or twenty. The lady was riding at a good pace, and when in a quiet part of the road the young man, who had apparently been imbibing, stepped into the roadway, and, addressing some insulting remarks to the cyclist, made as if he intended pulling her of the machine. She immediately alighted caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him& sound thrashing, using her tists in scientitie fashion, to the delight of several colliers who were passing. The young man made off, and the cyclist, who is believed to be a Bolton lady noted for her athletic powers, rode off towards Tylesley. Drawing of the scene as described in the previous image. A young lady is using her fists in a scientific fashion to beat the living shit out of the Archbishop of Banterbury, a drunk young man who tried to accost her for reasons of being an absolute tit. In the background, some seven local workers roar their encouragement.
