An original verse fable involving animals
A greyhound and a hedgehog met
High on a hill near Hurst,
And there it was they had a bet
On who could race down first.
‘You’ll never cope with such a slope,’
The greyhound quipped with glee,
‘Oh don’t be daft!’ the hedgehog laughed,
‘I’ll win this race, you’ll see.’
The hedgehog had the wherewithal
To take an early lead:
He rolled himself into a ball
And quickly gathered speed.
The moral here is plain to see
As I shall now convey:
However long one’s legs might be
It’s balls that win the day.
