Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo challenge

My first thought when I saw this photo was the song, 

"Muskrat love', written by Willis Alan Ramsey

performed by Captain and Tennille in 1980

Here are the first three verses of Musk Rat Love, 

I will write a version of Hedge Hog love in red under each verse 

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'

Hedge hog, hedge hog walking around,
Doin' the town in fine style in your barefeet
In the mornin' lookin' fine in the rising sun
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug
Out in the muskrat land
And they shimmy
Sam is so skinny

Hedge hog Hank and Hedge hog Heidi
Doin' two step on the street
You shimmy to the right and shimmy to the left
Both of you well groomed and lookin' fine
And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love

They whirl and the twirl
to the music in they hear in their Hedge hog ears
Gentle breezes blowing,  melodies

flowing sure looks like Hedge hog love to me
