Happy little spiny thing

Exploring moss and earth,

Dabbling cross a puddle while

Gathering for the dearth,

Edging ‘round my garden fence

Hoping for an egress,

Overjoyed to find a feast

Gifted nibbles impress.

Hello little hedgehog friend!

As you enjoy your spread,

Perhaps, please may I sketch you

Pre- hibernation bed?

Enjoy the tasty vittles,

Now almost gone I see,

I’ll just continue sketching

No noise you’ll hear from me.

Go home when you are ready,

Stuffed from your hunger spree.

These happy hedgehog happenings

The cutest they could be.
