THE ARMADILLO

If I would fight on land and sea,

And all my armor take with me,

An ARMADILLO I would be.

Then I could wear as my best clothes

To cover me from tail to nose,

Strong armor to ward off my foes.

And dig, ah, my, but I could dig!

Much swifter than a rooting pig,

With my sharp claws so strong and big.

And eat, ah, yes, but I would eat

All things bitter and all things sweet,

For feasting would be my best feat!
