Hibernating hole up’s

Within the old wooden shed wilted leaves lie in a heap
Where a roundish prickly ball lies curled up cozily fast asleep
This hibernating Hedgehog is totally unaware that he has many other inhabitants willing to share

Three tiny doormice lie amidst the withered bed looking still as can be one would think that they were dead
But thankfully they are all very much alive
In this old garden shed they should easily survive

Just above this bed of hidden hole up’s in the corner of the broken slats
Hanging by minute claws is a colony of bats
Looking like little leather black hankerchiefs huddled in a clumped camp, each one snuggled tightly together protected from any damp

Sleep tight one and all, whilst the wintertime is wild 
Safely tucked away from predators as you curl up like a child
This derilict shed has stood here for many a moon and it won’t be moving from it’s plot anytime soon
