Giant Armadillo by Elle

You’ve probably never heard of me I like to disappear in the shrubbery I burrow down beside termite mounds I eat the pests that keep you awake with nocturnal sounds My scales protect me from nature’s threats But not from wealthy bidders’ bets My armour, its not meant for you As an artefact in a city zoo I need the land that your cows now graze Or these could be my final days I need the trees that burn in your fire Or in a museum is the only place I will be admired I am fast I am strong If you do...
