Here is my entry:
HENRY HEDGEHOG (WC 101)
by Michelle S. Kennedy
Henry Hedgehog needs some HELP!
but he’s too proud to make a yelp.
He wants to make a grand bouquet
to give his mom on Mother’s Day.
Collecting flowers should be fun…
He’s tried so hard but gathers NONE.
A rosebush thorn caught in his thumb.
Another one has pierced his bum!
Forget Me Nots just make him wheeze.
The Hollyhocks all make him sneeze.
The Dandelions wilt too fast.
Carnations are supposed to last—
until poor Henry has a fall…
He trips. They fly. A free-for-all!
And so, poor Henry with a shrug,
instead gives Mom a great big hug.
Great job! Moms love a nice hug anyway. ❤️
Oh, poor Henry indeed! 😪 Well done--this was cute. Good luck in the contest!
