Who Drank the Milk

SO WHO DRANK THE MILK Thomas the cat let up such a stink last night wanting to go out 11 pm, I had no other choice, but; to let him out, where he then shot off across the road at speed, I was like what’s going on here, on the other side of the road he stopped, and I could see something near him scurrying across the road, a darn hedgehog and Thomas was leading it right up my front garden path, I ran in and got some cat milk and placed it near the front door, and the hedgehog sniffed at it, but; without drinking any of it, it then just potted off across my front garden into the hedgerow, then Thomas was away on his roams, I was thinking first you bring your daughter to my house and now you bring a flamin’ hedgehog, I left the cat milk out and came back in, Thomas did not return until 5.20 am, where the cat milk looked like it hadn’t been touched, but; by 7 am when I went out and checked on the milk, it had near gone, so who drank the milk . . . Such a friendly thing, not in the slightest perturbed, a hedgehog arrives, One whiff of the milk, doesn't seem to want to know, off the hedgehog goes. But; morning arrives, and, that milk was as near gone, much to my surprise. So, who drank the milk, the hedgehog or a stray cat, It's a strange one that.
