There's hedgehogs in my garden
I only see them at night
sniffing and scuffling around
for worms, slugs and termites
They are such particular creatures
with their hardened spins on top
and very little downy fur underneath
they are rather lovely, sniffing underleaf
Those cute little snouts sniffing around
looking for creature that dwell underground
and when they are harassed at all
they do curl up into a tiny ball
I love the hedgehogs in my garden
they are such sweet little things
and when it's cold at night
I bring them warm milk and a bite
