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!

My favorite animal....the armadillo...strange little critters...I believe that's where Muhammed Ali came up with the "rope-a-dope" defense.

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.

Hmmm...that's sort of how I feel about the deer and my tulip buds! I liked it, Jeff.

Thanks, Kim, I think I'm stuck in a kid's rhyme loop!
