Answers on a Postcard

This is the sight which greeted George

when he went 

to open the polytunnel doors

the other morning.

Funnily enough, he didn't notice the gaping hole

until after he'd opened the first door.

Our imaginations ran riot as we tried to think

what could possibly have happened,

surely too much damage

to have been caused by a cat

but could it have been done by a fox?

Any suggestions?

The penny dropped when we were inspecting the damage,

and were joined by Toby Too.

His guilty face, 

plus the incriminating high-level claw marks

(Toby is a bit of a demon for standing on his back legs to open doors)

added to the fact that George then remembered that TT

had followed him into the polytunnel

the previous evening,

but he forgot to check that he had  gone back out

before he locked up.

Toby couldn't have been in there for much more than ten minutes

because he was back in the kitchen at supper time.

Luckily, TT had gone through one small panel

which was easily repaired.

So don't worry, Jonny!

In his defence,

that was the day when George was feeling ill.

If only he had listened to nurse,

and taken the medicine,

I'm fairly sure this wouldn't have happened.
