__Armadillo__

Little armoured man, who knitted you that vest? Who bent and layered and taylored?

Who bent and fitted, who measured and pleated this costume?

Do you come out and sit on the couch at the end of the parade and watch TV in your pajamas?

Are you a model in the animal World of Wearable Arts? Did you make the other animals laugh?

Little armadillo are you an animal joke?

From nose to toe are you levered in with a shoe horn?

Do you look like a rat whan you take that thing off?

Or are you all white and soft and sticky like jelly inside that suit?

Do you get hot and sticky? Do you perspire?

Little armoured man, who knitted you that vest? Who bent and layered and taylored?

__Gelatinous Slug__

Gelatinous slug, you ooze through the night, what is your glamour?

You glisten in the moonlight. You paradox, delicate and phantasmogoric, slimey and ichorous.

Your plumpness is palpable, overblown and extravagent.
