Hedgehog Crossing
I am a hedgehog crossing.
I boldly mark the way
In case a hedgehog outing
Should want to cross one day.
A few small problems with this
One, hedgehog's never read
And so they're rather out of luck
When faced with motor speed.
Two, drivers do not want to slow
'Watch out beware'
The signs strikingly all warn
That hedgehogs cross without a care.
And so the plans are put away
For spending all the taxpay dosh
On hedgehog crossings is a waste,
When results are always hedgehog squash.
