Francis of Assisi, Dr. Doolittle and
Benjamin Zephaniah says it all in his
Luv Song
I am in luv wid a hedgehog
I’ve never felt this way before
I have luv fe dis hedgehog
An everyday I luv her more an more,
She lives by de shed
Where weeds and roses bed
An I just want de world to know
She makes me glow.
I am in luv wid a hedgehog
She’s making me hair stand on edge,
So in luv wid dis hedgehog
An her friends
Who all live in de hedge
She visits me late
An eats off Danny’s plate
But Danny’s a cool tabby cat
He leaves it at dat.
I am in luv wid a hedgehog,
She’s gone away so I must wait
But I do miss my hedgehog
Everytime she goes to hibernate.
IDEA. Sit in the garden or local park for twenty minutes every day all week. Observe a bird or animal, take notes and write a haiku about it.
