Poem for all you mandolin players
Came across this wee ditty today while idly leafing through an old poetry book for kids. Enjoy!

PANGOLIN

This disrespectful pangolin
Reclines upon a pillow,
And plays upon a mandolin
Made from an armadillo.

To sing his songs is his intent,
At nineteen to the dozen,
And so he strums an instrument
That used to be his cousin.

A pangolin is a scaly anteater.

A mandolin is a daily time eater.
