Listen "Giant Armadillo by Elle"
Episode Synopsis
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 don’t watch out
I’ll be gone
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 don’t watch out
I’ll be gone
