i saw a little hedgehog while walking in a field
curled up in ball with his  head concealed
all his little spikes sticking from his side
he was fast asleep snuggled up inside

then when he woke up he rolled out from his ball
stretched his little body and he began to crawl
he had a lovely face as cute as cute can be
with big brown eyes he looked up at me

then he carried on looking for a treat
for some tasty insects and things he like to eat
he made me feel so happy this creature of the wild
with his life of freedom and mother natures child.
