I heard they taste like chicken. Great wordplay with this poem. Yup! Fire up the grill… from your grill to our grille, Texas style.

Probably taste more like rat…not that i’d know.
Apr 19, 2017 @ 04:22:48
Yeah yeah sure sure!

We have the living version of those critters in our yard when we take the dog out at night. They are quirkey little things 🙂

Being nocturnal is probably why I’ve never spied one on our travels…so cool that you have seen live armadillos. Do you live in Texas?

Florida. I see them gallumping down the street. We call them road kill on the half-shell – from our grill to yours!
Apr 19, 2017 @ 14:43:38
Ha!

reminds me wide open spaces and laughing around a campfire, so much fun and joy in so few words!
Apr 18, 2017 @ 16:45:14
Let’s all sing a round together 😀

Boy Howdy, y’all have selected some good groceries–though you better have some good sauces to mask the muskiness.

Circle ’round the chuck(le) wagon

😀 I like this, short, sweet, and saucey.
Apr 18, 2017 @ 16:17:36
Definitely sauce-y!

That sounds like a real note on a postcard. I liked the “armadillo near amarillo”.
Apr 18, 2017 @ 16:16:40
Thanks…i’ve been wanting to put those words together 😉
Apr 18, 2017 @ 15:10:51
I hope the armadillo wasn’t destined for the BBQ 🙂
Apr 18, 2017 @ 15:19:58
Maybe that’s why it’s hard to spot a live one!
Apr 18, 2017 @ 15:23:22
I was hoping you weren’t going to say that 😦
Apr 18, 2017 @ 15:24:48
Just kidding…I never saw it at a BBQ either!
Apr 18, 2017 @ 15:27:11
Phew! You never know with Texans 🙂
Apr 18, 2017 @ 14:56:43
I have an urge to say “Yee-haa”. Not sure if it works in an English accent, or even if it’s allowed…a smiler.
Apr 18, 2017 @ 16:15:49
Yes, Yee-haw! (i’m afraid it does not mix well with English accent) 😀
Apr 18, 2017 @ 14:50:17
Delighted by this, lynn. Armadillos are RIDICULOUS, aren’t they? Proof God has a sense of humor. 😉
Apr 18, 2017 @ 14:50:41
And as Linda said, there’s a clear Texas accent here that adds so much. Delightful.
Apr 18, 2017 @ 14:52:11
Glad y’all liked it…
Apr 18, 2017 @ 14:51:25
Yes, I still hope to see a live armadillo.
Apr 18, 2017 @ 14:47:27
I read this with a Texas accent in my head. I especially love the armadillo from amarillo. 🙂
Apr 18, 2017 @ 14:48:26
Ah thank ya kindly 😉
