A TALE OF THE HEDGE	A
	-
HEDGE PLANTS	B
	-
Beware	C
We advise you to take care	C
He lodges with us so we know him well	D
And can tell	D
You all about him	E
And we strongly advise you not to flout him	E
	-
	-
DANDELION	F
	-
At my time of life said the Dandelion	F
I keep an eye on	G
The slightest sign of disturbance and riot	H
For my one object is to keep quiet	H
The reason I take such very great care	C
The old Dandy went on is because of my hair	C
It was very thick once and as yellow as gold	I
But now I am old	I
It is snowy white	J
And comes off with the slightest fright	J
As to using a brush	K
My good dog I beseech you don't rush	K
Go quietly by me if you please	L
You're as bad as a breeze	L
I hope you'll attend to what we've said	M
And whatever you do don't touch my head	M
In this equinoctial blustering weather	N
You might knock it off with a feather	N
	-
	-
THISTLE	O
	-
Said the Thistle I can tickle	O
But not as a Hedgehog can prickle	O
Even my tough old friend the Moke	P
Would find our lodger no joke	P
	-
	-
DOG ROSE	Q
	-
I have thorns sighed the Rose	Q
But they don't protect me like those	Q
He can pull his thorns right over his nose	Q
	-
	-
NETTLE	O
	-
My sting said the Nettle	O
Is nothing to his when he's put on his mettle	O
No nose can endure it	R
No dock leaves will cure it	R
	-
	-
DOG	S
	-
Bow wow said the Dog	S
All this fuss about a Hedgehog	T
Though I never saw one before	U
There's my paw	V
Good morning Sir Do you never stir	N
You look like an overgrown burr	N
Good day I say	W
Will you have a game of play	W
With your humped up back and your spines on end	X
You remind me so of an intimate friend	X
The Persian Puss	Y
Who lives with us	Z
How well I know her tricks	A2
The dear creature	N
Just when you're sure you can reach her	N
In the twinkling of a couple of sticks	A2
She saves herself by her heels	B2
And looks down at you out of the apple tree with eyes like catherine wheels	B2
The odd part of it is	C2
I could swear that I could not possibly miss	D2
Her silky cumbersome traily tail	O
And that's just where I always fail	O
But you seem to have nothing Sir of the sort	E2
And I should be mortified if you thought	F2
That I'm stupid at sport	E2
I assure you I don't often meet my match	G2
Where I chase I commonly catch	G2
I've caught cats	H2
And rats	H2
And between ourselves I once caught a sheep	I2
And I think I could catch a weasel asleep	I2
	-
	-
HEDGE PLANTS	B
	-
From the whole of the hedge there rose a shout	J2
Oh you'll catch it no doubt	J2
But remember we gave you warning fair	C
Touch him if you dare	C
	-
	-
DOG	S
	-
If I dare said the Dog Take that	K2
As he gave the Hedgehog a pat	K2
But oh how he pitied his own poor paw	V
And shook it and licked it it was so sore	U
	-
	-
DANDELION	F
	-
It's much too funny by half	L2
Said the Dandelion it makes me ill	O
For I cannot keep still	O
And my hair comes out if I laugh	L2
	-
The Hedgehog he spoke never a word	M2
And he never stirred	M2
His peeping eyes his inquisitive nose	Q
And his tender toes	Q
Were all wrapped up in his prickly clothes	N2
A provoking enemy you may suppose	Q
And a dangerous one to flout	J2
Like a well stocked pin cushion inside out	J2
	-
The Dog was valiant the Dog was vain	O2
He flew at the prickly ball again	P2
Snapping with all his might and main	O2
But oh the pain	O2
He sat down on his stumpy tail and howled	Q2
Then he laid his jaws on his paws and growled	Q2
	-
	-
DANDELION	F
	-
With laughter the Dandelion shook	R2
It passes a printed book	R2
It's as good as a play I declare	C
But it's cost me half my back hair	C
The Dog he made another essay	W
It really and truly was very plucky	S2
But third times you know are not always lucky	S2
And this time he ran away	W
	-
	-
HEDGE PLANTS	B
	-
Then the Hedge plants every one	F
Rustled together What fun what fun	F
The battle is done	F
The victory won	F
Dear Hedge pig pray come out of the Sun	F
	-
The Hedge pig put forth his snout	J2
He sniffed hither and thither and peeped about	J2
Then he tucked up his prickly clothes	N2
And trotted away on his tender toes	Q
To where the hedge bottom is cool and deep	I2
Had a slug for supper and went to sleep	I2
His leafy bed clothes cuddled his chin	T2
And all the Hedge plants tucked him in	T2
	-
But the hairs and the tears that we shed	M
Never can be recalled	U2
And when he too went off in hysterics to bed	M
DANDELION was bald	U2
