A hedgehog was crossing
the road one day,
When a car turned the corner
and headed his way.“Oh dear” said a Cow
lifting her head,“Quite soon yon hedgehog
is going to be dead."
“No fear” said the hedgehog
rolling into a ball,
so tightly curled tiny and small,
caught by the draft
of the car as it passed,to uncurl on the
opposite side at last.
laughed a snail on a leaf,
if I could move as fast
I’d never come to grief.
“Ha Ha” said another,
with a mouthful of clover,“don’t speak so bold
the day’s not yet over.”
a blackbird swooped low
gobbling him up
all in one go.
A delightful meal,
for a blackbird some meat,
Whilst the other snail
beat a hasty retreat.
