Doubtful Armor
The tale, over tea and coffee
on an easy Saturday evening
was of loosed armadillos,
minor mayhem and mischief
on a hotel floor then false
reporting to earnest police,
which yarn elicited laughter
from the group whose members
were reveling in their third decade,
some parenting and some almost,
so what better than a story
of those southern scramblers
of neutral to unattractive temper
on account of their small brains,
according to the raconteur,
in contrast to these relatively
young and prosperous representatives
of a species with much larger
noggins and proportionate brains encased
to boot though without the plating
the old Spanish attributed
to the low mammal, so needing
at times such diversions concerning
carpet-covering chaos little critters
and other unthinkers bring.
