                                      Did you ever 
                                           see a hummingbird
                                             Try and flirt with a hedgehog?
                                                  It is an odd sight indeed!
                                                    First a hedgehog is walking along
                                                             Minding its own business
                                                               Then a hummingbird swoops in!
                                                                Wings beating one hundred miles an hour
                                                                                 And examines the situation.
                                                                              Upon deciding that the situation
                                                                                          Looks sweet enough
                                                                                      It begins to poke the hedgehog
                                                                                         With its long pointy beak!
                                                                                                     Then the hedgehog
                                                                                     Not knowing what else to do
                                                                                       Curls up in a ball, spikes up
                                                                                              Even though it knows
                                                                                          The hummingbird advances
                                                                                                     Are not threatening
                                                                                                    But merely annoying.
                                                                                             The hummingbird hopes
                                                                                          To tickle the hedgehog
                                                                                          Between its quills
                                                                                     Until in a fit of giggles
                                                                           The hedgehog rolls on its back
                                                                          Legs kicking in the air
                                                                   So the hummingbird can
                                                                  Fan cool air around
                                                             The hedgehog with its
                                                         Very tiny wings                                                                   
                                                        Letting it relax
                                                       Defenses down.
                                                       But the question
                                                        Remains still
                                                         What kind
                                                           Of Bird
                                                          Flirts With
                                                           A hedge-
                                                             Hog?


                                                            Just a
                                                      Hummingbird
                                                   That is delightfully
                                                      Kind of crazy
                                                       And Strange
