Hedgehog’s Dilemma
Jul 22, 2017 · 1 min read
One cold winter’s day, a group of hedgehogs crowded together for warmth so as not to freeze to death.

How do we deal with this dilemma
Of staying neither too far
Nor too close together
Of keeping warm enough
To survive the weather
Without pricking each other
Like hedgehogs in winter
