The Pangolin

For Ilene Bauer You’ll never hear a pangolin play the violin or mandolin for no pangolin is musical. though the pangolin relies on arpeggios of scales unheard but hard as nails to ward off hungry enemies – a major key in its survival. (P.S. One of its distinctions is its meat tastes like chicken. It's other, its scales used as medicine. And if continued to be eaten will sadly face extinction.)
