Jeff Kyser Poet Rhyme

Armadillo, Peccadillo

Armadillo,
peccadillo,
armored, slow, but
sneaky fellow
when confronted,
rather yellow
some say, very 
cute!

Armadillo
peccadillo,
leprosy and
such diseases
not aggressive,
somewhat mellow
he's a nasty
brute!

Armadillo,
peccadillo,
please stay in the
open fields, not 
tearing up my
daffodils and
nibbling to the
root!

Armadillo,
peccadillo,
please return to
Amarillo,
and even though
you travel slow,
now skedaddle,
scoot!

John Lawless March 5, 2022 at 2:46 PM My favorite animal....the armadillo...strange little critters...I believe that's where Muhammed Ali came up with the "rope-a-dope" defense. Jeff Kyser March 5, 2022 at 3:55 PM Yeah, I'm a softie - I've trapped them, but I just take them and let them free elsewhere. Can't bring myself to do them in.

L Milton Hankins March 5, 2022 at 1:59 PM Hmmm...that's sort of how I feel about the deer and my tulip buds! I liked it, Jeff.

Kim Rodrigues March 5, 2022 at 10:58 AM Great write, Jeff! Jeff Kyser March 5, 2022 at 11:06 AM Thanks, Kim, I think I'm stuck in a kid's rhyme loop!
