At The Midway Poem by Yen Cress

A sow bug ambled cheerfully
Along a country trail.
He felt quite safe and debonair
Inside his coat of mail.

He saw a country fair nearby.
Such music! Oh, what fun!
Some games and rides might make his day,
So he began to run.

He rolled into a little ball
To cross a rut with ease.
But when he reached the other side,
A wonder made him freeze.

With coat of armor just like his-
(And ears and tail beside) -
What was this splendid creature that
Our little friend espied?

A GIANT sow bug, to be sure,
So tall, so long, so wide!
The sow bug smiled, and climbed aboard
The Armadillo Ride.
