Chlamyphorus truncatus

Chlamyphorus truncatus
To own you as a pet would give me status
An insectivore from Argentina
And the cutest little critter ever seen-a
You’ll eat exotic arthropods by the pound
I’ll never get to see you cause you’re underground
You’ll never ever sleep upon my pillow
Chlamyphorus truncatus: Pink Fairy Armadillo!
You will never get much bigger than my hand
Pandas always get more press & I don’t understand
You have armour plates upon your back and butt
which are tinted a most pleasing shade of pink

From the list of squee you never shall be cut

You’re my favouritest animal I think

Smallest in the fam’ly Dasypodidae
Proud member of the order Cingulata
You won’t be long, & nor should I
Cause I’ve run out of interesting data

Spoken: Really, we don’t know much about this remarkable mammal, apart from it being really good at hide and seek.

Chlamyphorus truncatus
To own you as a pet would give me status
An insectivore from the Argentine
A-a-a-and the cutest little critter anybody’s ever seen!

The show we’ll never see

Austentatious.

Someone had to do it, I suppose.  I reckon I’d enjoy it. I provide the link for me mOm’s entertainment.

I made meatloaf yesterday.  In case I don’t remember the recipe, it’s a pound and a bit of regular ground beef, four tablespoons of Heinz chili sauce, a good shot of black pepper, ditto powdered garlic, an egg and almost half a cup of bread crumbs.  I think I’ll macerate an onion next time too.  Jeff proceeded to abandon the leftover Chinese food for it, so I’d say that’s a good sign.

Today, I will be putting some effort into an interview between my main character and my newly hatched CBC interviewer.

The Jazz documentary continues to dazzle, likewise Attenborough’s Blue Planet.  Wars between coral species are bizarre and disgusting.  “I barf my guts on you and digest you on the spot!”  “Aiyee! I am fixed to one spot and cannot flee!” Also, who knew there’s a colony species of shrimp? With a queen, and workers, and burly guards with extra large claws!?

I’m singing in church on Sunday, must practice some more.
