The Armadillo

THE ARMADILLO There was an armadillo That came from Amarillo He discovered an 18-wheeler To really be a killer Now the armadillo from Amarillo Lies in death on a concrete pillow Perhaps he should have stayed in Amarillo

I like this one. Concrete pillow is a cool line.

I don't know where these kinds of thought patterns evolve from but I just started thinking and out it came. Thanks for your support.

Thanks, Dr. Ram: Just a bunch of silly rhyming words that suddenly popped into my head. I appreciate your comments and your support.

BG: Glad to hear that you could see the humor in this even if it did seem a little morbid. I spent more time in Amarillo than I care to talk about during my Air Force career, but I'll never go again by my own choice.
