Ode to the Armadillidiidae

 

The pill bug to some folk, is nothing but an insect

Those people should have woke, from this one little defect

A lack of wonder for the world is what they’re missing

The small truths unfurled aren’t worth dismissing

We are creatures unknown to the microcosmic flow

Never better said then “as above so below”

Roly polie, chiggy-wigs, potato bugs:

These little guys can give themselves hugs.

Arm-ah-dill-ah-die-ah-dee, go ahead and say with me;

Armadillidiidae, if you see one let it be!

It’s copper based body, bleeds blue blood

Minding it’s business,  it cleans up crud

No longer do you have to guess or suppose

Who’s responsible for what will decompose

You’ll find there is really nothing odd

about loving that little isopod.
