COVERING THE SUBJECT
The urtle,clam,and the crab as well
Are covered with a sturdy shell,
While fish, excepting maybe whales,
Are shingled fore and aft with scales
Though most, perhaps, have not the plating
Of armadillos, it’s worth stating
That animals at least have hides
That give them fairly firm outsides.
And yet that upright mammal man,
MUst get along as best he can
With nothing but a little skin
to keep his precious insides in.
BY RICHARD ARMOUR……..Just love his poem………………………………….
