spring hedgehog

jim56

i saw an hedgehog rising from his winter bed
ready for the spring that lies there ahead
roaming round the garden with his tiny feet
looking for a worm this was his favourite treat

in and out the plants underneath the sun
happy as can be having so much fun
with his little spikes standing in the air
all around his body sticking everywhere

he had a lovely face cute as cute can be
with his eyes of blue that brought a smile to me
mother natures child roaming wild and free
something i will treasure in my memory

              the animals in the forest had a birthday party
              it was rabbits birthday rabbit he was two
              squirrel laid the table with lots of things to eat
              made a birthday cake rabbits birthday treat
              badger got the chairs so they had a seat
              spread them round the table spread them nice and neat
              the birds sang happy birthday everyone joined in
              now the time was ready for the party to begin
              there were big balloons hanging in the trees
              blowing very gently in the summer breeze
              they played lots of games having lots of fun
              rabbit he was happy is party had begun
              then they all down it was time to eat
              time to blow the candles out to make the day complete
              rabbit took a breath and blew is candles out
              happy birthday rabbit they began to shout
              now a year older another birthday gone
              he cant wait till next year to have another one
