"Hey there!" yelled the armadillo
to the platypus,
"while other beasts have boring names,
just take a look at us!"
"Shut up!" replied his flat-beaked friend,
"our numbers are so few:
lets not make others envious.
They'll want some cool names too.
And then there'll be the oddest names
like winkleflonk and klanks
and terrapodloo and cackleshite.
D'you think we'll get a "Thanks"?
Of course we won't! They'll hunt us down
and that will be our end.
So lets not brag about our names,
is what I recommend."
