Woodpigs
Armoured car of the insect world Descended from the seaSeven segments they did weldAnd put 2 legs on each This tank commander likes the darkUnder rocks and rotting wood You'll find him almost anywhereWhen you look under the hoodA canopy of fallen leavesOr even an old brickThis greedy little chappy Has an appalling trick He is a small crustacean Descended from a shrimp Needs lots of copper in his blood So food he cannot skimp He ll eat a bit of anything No matter what the taste To keep that copper flowing He ll chew on his own waste The other little nasty From this exo ,,,,,, shellHe ll excrete ammonia That's quite a pungent smellBut do not kill these creaturesWhen walking on the floorThey're natures waste disposal teamAlways ask for more They have their young in pouches Just like a kangarooTheir eggs are stored inside there Their young can eat the poo Just like its grunty neigbour That wallows in the mud Its eating habits are diverse Though it seems to do them goodBecause they act so similarIts name has been re jiggedYou dont just call them wood lice They're also called wood pigs The woodlouse motto ..If it moves salute it If it doesn't eat it An original workCopyright 15062020
