Best Armadillo Poems

It was dark and dreary, and the dawn had not yet 
begun to break, as I walked down the steps 
to fetch the paper while my family slept. 
A hint of a breeze wafted through the trees, 
dawn's early light was not yet in sight....

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...

Armadillo ruins
Flowers that are kept with care
So ugly creature...

They came in the night
Nocturnal mammals plying their trade
Armored carriers of an age old scourge
A modern day version of a creature from a Mesolithic age
Rooting in the soil for their tasty grubs and morsels.
Leaving behind holes in the lawns and uprooted fresh planted beds.
A total...

Japanese Beetles grub gone

Armadillo: A Child


Abundant Savannah Anthills
Are my Mother’s breast
From which I suck my fill.

Supine, breast upturned,
I suckle nipple jutting upwards
Oozing life to the thirsty...

From one to another I hope; 
Long-cheeked Armadillo	
Quaffing with drab appetite,

Ants ooze from the nipples
While I caress her breast:
True Infantile serendipity.

I dip the...

Armadillo


Armor placed upon a knighted
Rat, defender of the gold, not the
Man whose crown adorns it.
Addled pretender to the throne,
Dunce, in hidden jesters robe
Ill bred, ill tempered, 
Lothario, pompous preening,
Lecherous serpent seeking
Only the safety of self.

Why Didn’t the Armadillo Cross the Road?

By Elton Camp

We see them on the highway dead as a doornail
Despite a suit or armor over all but head & tail
Is it because they’re stupid or are they just slow
That so many deaths by cars armadillos undergo?

It is...

The armadillo
In his protective thick shell
Holds not a candle
To the armor protection
Built around his emotions  

Holds not a candle:

Meaning:

To compare badly to a know authority_to be unfit even to hold a subordinate position..

Orgin:

Apprentices used to be expected to hold the candle so that more...

Roly poly armour plated,
Clumsy gaited beast.
Looking for a juicy worm,
A creepy, crawly feast.

Sleeping mostly through the day,
And prowling at night,
Seeming quiet, docile, shy,
He can put up a fight.

Not a trouble maker.
It's just his lot in life.
He does his best not to be seen,
He's tryng to...

Armadillo


Love is a true story.
Love takes time.
True love means being faithful,
And truly loving only one woman for the rest of my life.
At this moment she is only on my mind;
I hope one day to find her hand in mine.

Here it is... gonna pour it all out
no holding back, better sit yourself down
be prepared, this is going to be so juicy
you'll be squirming and perspiring
and breathing heavily from all your outlets
okay, must pause for a bit
to wipe off my keyboard and my wee mousie
sorry......

Up early and off to school I must go
Full of pep and not too slow,
That was then when I was young
This is now a new age I have begun,
How I hate them as I climb out of bed
Early mornings are for the dead,
Unreasonable I must...
