The Taxidermist's Art

 I've just been chatting to the chap who owns the antique shop at the bottom of the Pavement, next to the Poetry Bookshop.  He's just been re-arranging his window for the Festival, and pride of place is given to an enormous Asian water buffalo head.  With the horns, it takes up just about the entire width of the window!

He was pondering where he could put the crocodile skin he's also bought.  It's 14 feet long and 5 feet wide, and won't fit in the shop!  It's too big to hang outside the shop, too - at the moment it's folded up in the back of his van.  He opened the van up to show us.
