ANDY THE DILLO

just something fun.... ANDY THE DILLO* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Texas town where sun brightly shone, Andy the dillo lives, all alone. He dreamt of a pretty gal, one who lives in his locale. Together the dusty trails they’d roam When pillaging one starry night he met Astrid, "Oh! you're outta sight" A quizzical nose had she “You're perfect dillo for me! Let’s eat worms together, they’re a delight!" With a twirl and a tap of her toes, she showed dance moves that she knows. 'round and 'round she did spin, with giggles and a grin. Then he noticed her rather large schnoz. “EEEGADS! Where did you get that nose? With it, the ground you can bulldoze You’re a dillo extraordinaire. I’ll follow you anywhere. Let’s go get some worms at Joe’s!” *Note: Poem originally published in Poetry Soup in June 2025 (poetrysoup.com/poem/andy_the_armadillo_1738645)> I then deleted it. This is my original poem.
