Friends with the Animals

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.
