The Hedgehog Benevolent Society

We started up this charity when We heard of the hedgehogs plight There’s twenty thousand creatures That get flattened every night They run across the tarmac As they head off to the wood They never see the cars because Their eyesight’s none too good For hedgehogs are not clever On the highway they can’t hack it So we’d like to fit each one of them With a bright fluorescent jacket And then as we sort their clothing And we’re measuring their chest We can get our own optician To perform an eyesight test We’ll fit them all with spectacles Glued on, so they don’t lose ‘em And likewise with the jackets They’ll have no choice but use ‘em So please donate some money to This worthwhile undertaking It won’t be long, you’ll surely see The difference we are making
