Assorted Stuff
PERFECTION IN DEFLECTION (Hard Armor Helps!)
On a blazing day, Texas hot,
A young armadillo was shot
By a sad immigrant Pole
Down near a fishing hole.
The hard-shelled young armadillo
Was trudging toward Amarillo,
Avoiding all busy highways
By walking near rural by-ways.
Although a gun's fast bullet 'ping'
On his hard shell caused no sting,
Deflected, losing very little force,
That cartridge completed its course.
Diverted from a straight line,
Its velocity still just fine,
The bullet hit, not Texas dirt,
Although a mother-in-law was hurt.
Now in a tough Texas court
The Pole is ordered to support
His injured mother-in law,
Newly marked with a flaw.
But the small armored armadillo
Still trudges toward Amarillo,
Its shell still in one piece--
Will Texas wonders ever cease?
