A possum Tail in the Henhouse...
Mr Possum was discovered asleep in the corner of the kitchen at No 2 Grassy Lane in Chickie Village late this morning.
Jovi Woofley was on the scene assessing the situation.
Security Guard Dusty Barkalot ran around the grounds of Chickie Village barking a lot.
The Lady from the big house called over Annie with Spade who was busy tending the vegetable garden. After discussing the situation they decided to confront the intruder and asked him to explain himself.
Mr Possum mumbled something about a big possum party the previous night celebrating Possum Protection Day and promptly nodded off to sleep again. A gentle prodding aroused him sufficiently for him to explain that at the break of day he was still so intoxicated from drinking rose nectar that he couldn't find his way home. The cottage looked so warm and inviting that he just crawled into the corner by the stove and fell asleep.
Miss Rosie and Miss Myrtle both declared that he behaved like a gentleman,was no bother at all and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.Annie, being a very compassionate soul gently lifted Mr Possum and carried him to the door of his own house in amongst the ivy on the big plum tree in the corner of the estate.
Mr Possum mumbled his thanks and scurried off to his own bed promising to behave in future.
The Lady at the big house thanked Annie for her help. Miss Pearl served morning tea in her lovely cosy kitchen.They had a little chuckle at the antics of intoxicated possums, as did we all, and wondered what was on earth going to happen next.
A full report was made by freelance journalist Mr Jovi Woofley
